Chelsea Green has confirmed that she suffered a broken orbital bone on the August 7 edition of WWE SmackDown, potentially putting her run as the Interim WWE Women’s Champion in jeopardy.
Chelsea Green’s championship win was one of the unexpected highlights of WWE SummerSlam , with fans excited to see the underdog get this run, even if it was just as an interim champion while the actual WWE Women’s Champion, Rhea Ripley, is recovering from a torn meniscus.
How Chelsea Green got injured
On the August 7 episode of SmackDown, Green suffered an injury during her match, which saw her team with Tiffany Stratton against Laney Reid and Fallon Henley of Fatal Influence. The finish saw Chelsea take the Rolling Encore – Reid and Henley’s finishing move – and while it looked fine at the time, Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer Radio reported that Reid landed on Green’s face, breaking her orbital bone.
Green confirmed the injury the next day on Instagram, saying that she “needed time to process” the injury. She was still wearing the title belt over her shoulder though, and WWE has yet to confirm whether or not Green will be required to vacate the Interim WWE Women’s Championship.
An orbital bone injury can vary greatly in severity. It’s possible that Green will be able to continue wrestling in a protective mask while the injury heals in 4-8 weeks with no surgery required. However, it can also be far more severe, and could see Green on the shelf for months.
As of the time of publication, we are still waiting to hear more on Green’s status, but Alvarez also reports that the Rolling Encore finisher that caused the injury is viewed as “not a good finish” by some backstage in WWE, so with it causing this injury, it’s possible that Fatal Influence will be getting a new finishing move some time soon.
