Details On Chelsea Green’s Injury On WWE SmackDown
Chelsea Green said she broke her orbital bone during the match, and there is no timetable for her return.
- On Friday, August 7, 2026, Champion Chelsea Green suffered a broken orbital bone during a tag team match on WWE SmackDown. Green and Tiffany Stratton lost to Fatal Influence members Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid.
- Wrestling Observer Radio host Bryan Alvarez noted the injury occurred when Lainey Reid fell on Green's head during the Fatal Flaw finisher. While the move appeared safe on television, sources labeled it "not a good finish."
- Marking 13 years in professional wrestling, Green's injury follows her recent Interim WWE Women Championship Win at SummerSlam. She secured the title in a Ladder Match, defeating Stratton, Charlotte Flair, Jade Cargill, and Lash Legend in Minnesota.
- Instagram posts from Green expressed disappointment regarding her recovery, though no confirmed timeline exists for her return. Alvarez suggested she might eventually compete while wearing a protective face mask, but WWE has not announced championship plans.
- Following knee surgery last week, Rhea Ripley remains sidelined after being out since June, further complicating the division's status. Ripley is expected out for months, leaving the Interim WWE Women championship status uncertain during this recovery period.
