Chelsea Green revealed a foot injury that forced her withdrawal from the AAA Mixed Tag Team Championship match on Saturday’s AAA event broadcast on Fox. The injury occurred during the previous night’s WWE SmackDown, which led to her absence and an unexpected change in the title defense lineup.
Details of Green’s Injury and Match Replacement
Chelsea Green was originally set to defend the AAA Mixed Tag Team titles alongside Ethan Page against Lola Vice and Mr. Iguana. However, during the show, Green appeared via FaceTime and showed her injured foot in a walking boot, explaining she could not compete. The exact nature and severity of the injury remain undisclosed, leaving her return to in-ring action uncertain. commentator Corey Graves revealed that Green sustained the injury during a three-way Elimination Chamber qualifying match on Friday’s WWE SmackDown, where she competed against Tiffany Stratton and Lash Legend.
In Green’s absence, 28-year-old La Hiedra stepped in to team with Ethan Page. Despite their efforts, Vice pinned La Hiedra to claim the AAA Mixed Tag Team Championship for her team, ending Green and Page’s reign as champions.
