Chelsea Green was recently observed walking without her usual ankle walking boot during an event held at WWE‘s corporate headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut. This development follows an ankle injury Green sustained during the February 6 episode of WWE SmackDown, where she competed in an Elimination Chamber qualifier match alongside Tiffany Stratton and Lash Legend. Green confirmed that the injury was a broken ankle, which initially had some sources within WWE speculating it could be a severe sprain.
Progress Updates and WWE 2K26 Creator Fest Appearance
Earlier reports showed Green using a wheelchair and wearing an ankle boot on WWE SmackDown, indicating the severity of her injury. However, recent footage shared by Denise Salcedo captured Green attending the WWE 2K26 Creator Fest, showing her walking and greeting the group of content creators while wearing a Stone Cold T-shirt. Although she appeared to favor her injured leg, the removal of the walking boot marked notable progress in her recovery.
Additional confirmation of this advancement came from Mark Henry, who posted a photo on Twitter that included Chelsea Green alongside Tyler Breeze and Xavier Woods; in this image, she was also without the walking boot.
Impact of Injury on WWE Events and Divisions
The timing of Green’s injury means she will likely miss the upcoming Elimination Chamber event scheduled for February 28 in Chicago, where Tiffany Stratton is set to compete for a championship shot at WrestleMania 42. Green’s recuperation period has implications for the women’s and tag team divisions; she recently lost the AAA Mixed Tag Team Championship with her partner, an outcome affected by her absence from active competition.
Uncertainty Surrounding Green’s Return to Wrestling
Currently, WWE has not announced a definite timeline for Chelsea Green’s return to the ring. Although early reports varied on the extent of her injury, Green herself clarified she experienced an actual ankle break. The situation remains tense as fans and the company await her recovery and eventual return, which will influence both individual and divisional storylines moving forward.
