As previously reported, WWE star Chelsea Green suffered an ankle injury during the February 6 episode of SmackDown, which led to her being sidelined. As a result, NXT North American Champion Ethan Page teamed with La Hiedra, but they lost the AAA Mixed Tag Team Championship to Mr. Iguana and Lola Vice the following night. Initially, there was speculation that Green had merely sprained her ankle; however, it was later confirmed that the injury was a broken ankle.
According to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the injury occurred during a match involving Tiffany Stratton and Lash Legend. Green had initially been informed that the injury was not expected to be serious, but further evaluation and X-rays revealed that her ankle was indeed broken. Currently, there is no timetable for her return to the ring. This is not the first time Green has experienced a broken bone; she previously broke her arm during her first main roster appearance in 2020.
On the February 13 episode of SmackDown, Green made an appearance in a wheelchair to blame Stratton for her injury, to which Stratton responded with less than kind remarks. This interaction suggested that Green would remain involved in a storyline with the former WWE Women's Champion.
