Chelsea Green Suffers Broken Orbital Bone as WWE Women’s Title Reign Faces Uncertainty

Chelsea Green has revealed heartbreaking injury news just days after winning the Interim WWE Women’s Championship at SummerSlam, leaving her immediate title future uncertain.

Green became the champion after defeating Charlotte Flair, Tiffany Stratton, Jade Cargill and Lash Legend in a high-stakes Ladder Match at SummerSlam. With Rhea Ripley sidelined following knee surgery, Green appeared set to become the permanent WWE Women’s Champion.

The Hot Mess made her first appearance as champion on the latest episode of SmackDown, where she celebrated her title victory alongside The Buff Barbie. Their celebration was interrupted by Fatal Influence, leading to Lainey Reid and Fallon Henley defending their Women’s Tag Team Championship against the babyface duo.

Despite being the reigning Women’s Champion, Green suffered the deciding pinfall during the match. However, the bigger concern emerged after the show when reports surfaced that she had suffered an injury.

Green later addressed the situation herself on Instagram, revealing that she had been taken to the emergency room and diagnosed with a broken orbital bone.

“I did get injured last night. Stuff happens. It’s live television, it’s wrestling, it’s an occupational hazard. I ended up in the emergency room, and I have a broken orbital bone,” Green said while discussing the setback.

The WWE Superstar admitted that the injury feels different from previous setbacks and acknowledged that she is frustrated about the situation. She also said she needs time to recover and process the head trauma before determining her next move.

“I have no idea what that means for me,” Green explained, adding that the situation feels “very different” and frustrating.

Despite the setback, the champion remained optimistic and suggested that she intends to take her recovery one day at a time.

“We’re just going to take it day by day. So, world domination continues. We’ve just had a minor blip,” Green said.

What Happens to the WWE Women’s Championship?

Green’s injury creates an immediate question surrounding the WWE Women’s Championship. The severity of her broken orbital bone and the required recovery time could determine whether she can continue defending the title.

For now, there has been no definitive announcement regarding Green’s championship status. Her comments suggest that she is still waiting to understand the full extent of the injury before making any decisions.

Green has become one of WWE’s most entertaining personalities since returning to the company, with her “Hot Mess” character making her a standout performer on SmackDown.

Whether she can continue her championship reign or is forced to relinquish the title will depend on the severity of the injury and WWE’s medical assessment. For now, Green’s focus appears to be on recovery.
