WWE has faced multiple injury setbacks recently, with Bron Breakker among those sidelined as the promotion prepares for WrestleMania. Adding to this list, Chelsea Green revealed via Instagram that she broke her ankle during a recent SmackDown episode. Despite the injury, Green completed her match, and WWE initially appeared unconcerned about the severity of the injury.
Green’s injury could prove significant, as she was scheduled to take part in WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas, just two months away. Her participation now hangs in the balance due to the broken ankle.
Chelsea Green’s Rising WWE Career and Current Challenges
Green has steadily built a strong reputation since returning to WWE at the Royal Rumble two years ago, capturing the Women’s United States Championship and becoming a fan favorite. Throughout her return, she has demonstrated both talent and determination, earning respect within the wrestling community.
Her dedication was on full display during the triple threat match on SmackDown against Tiffany Stratton and Lash Legend, where despite the ankle injury, she fought through the pain. Ultimately, Green was pinned by Stratton after the “Prettiest Moonsault Ever” finisher, which decided the match. While Green nearly secured the victory more than once, the defeat and injury now put her at risk of missing not only the Elimination Chamber event later this month but also the upcoming WrestleMania 42.
The Potential Impact on WrestleMania and WWE Storylines
Chelsea Green was expected to play a pivotal role at WrestleMania 42, particularly with her husband, Matt Cardona, recently making a return to WWE programming. Her absence could alter planned storylines and matchups at the showcase event. Given her popularity and momentum within the WWE Women’s division, the injury is a setback for both Green and the promotion’s creative plans.
WrestleMania remains WWE’s biggest annual event, and any injury to key talent like Green raises concerns among fans and officials alike about the evolving card and who will step up in her absence.
