Recently Crowned WWE Champion Injury Update

A new injury concern has surfaced in WWE, and this time it involves a recently crowned champion whose momentum was just getting started.

Chelsea Green’s situation has quickly become a talking point after fresh reports confirmed she is dealing with a foot injury that has already impacted championship plans and forced last minute changes behind the scenes.

Green had only just captured the AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championship alongside Ethan Page, making the timing of the setback especially frustrating. The injury occurred during a recent SmackDown qualifying match, and while she initially tried to push through, it became clear that continuing as planned was not an option. WWE officials made the call to pull her from an upcoming title defense to avoid worsening the issue.

Her absence immediately led to changes in the title picture. With Green unavailable, the scheduled defense never happened, and new champions were crowned instead. That sudden shift created ripple effects across the mixed tag division and left fans wondering how long Green might be out of action.

Chelsea Green Refuses to Disappear

Even sidelined, Green has not stepped away from television. She appeared on SmackDown wearing a walking boot, making it clear she intends to stay visible while recovering. That decision fits her on screen persona and her real life reputation for staying involved regardless of setbacks. WWE has reportedly been supportive of keeping her present in non wrestling segments while medical evaluations continue.

Early internal assessments suggest the injury may be less severe than originally feared. What initially raised concerns of a fracture is now believed to be a sprain or deep bruise, which would significantly shorten her recovery window. Further tests are expected to confirm that outlook, but optimism has quietly grown backstage.

For Green, the injury comes at a difficult moment. She had been building steady momentum, earning more consistent television time and connecting strongly with live crowds. Still, those close to the situation say she remains in good spirits and focused on returning as soon as she is medically cleared.

WWE has not shared an official timetable for her return, and no guarantees have been made about when she will wrestle again. What is clear is that the company does not view this as a long term setback.
