WWE Hit With Another Superstar Injury

Friday night’s episode of SmackDown delivered plenty of momentum, but it also came with an unexpected setback.

Chelsea Green suffered an injury during her appearance on the show, forcing a sudden change to plans behind the scenes. While the moment initially looked routine, it became clear quickly that something was wrong once Green was pulled from the rest of the broadcast.

Commentary later acknowledged the injury, confirming it was legitimate rather than storyline driven. Backstage adjustments followed almost immediately. Segments involving Green were quietly dropped, and creative plans for the rest of the night had to be reshuffled. For a performer who has stayed active and visible in recent weeks, the timing could not have been worse.

The situation became more apparent when fans noticed Green later wearing a walking boot, signaling the injury was serious enough to sideline her short term. WWE has not yet offered a formal medical update or recovery timeline, but the visual alone raised concern among viewers.

Fallout Extends Beyond WWE Programming

The effects of Green’s injury were felt outside WWE television as well. She was scheduled to compete alongside Ethan Page in a high profile match for the AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championship. With Green unable to travel or compete, the bout went ahead with a last minute replacement stepping in.

That sudden change shifted the dynamic of the match. The champions struggled to find rhythm, and the titles ultimately changed hands under unusual circumstances. It was a tough break, especially considering the reign ended without Green being physically involved in the decision.

For WWE, the injury creates another small hole in an already crowded and carefully planned schedule. Green has been used frequently in recent weeks, often bringing a mix of humor and intensity that adds balance to the women’s division. Her absence now forces adjustments both on screen and behind the curtain.

At this stage, there is no confirmed return date. WWE tends to keep medical details private unless necessary, so fans may be left waiting for clarity. What is certain is that Chelsea Green’s injury has already reshaped multiple storylines in a matter of hours, reminding everyone how quickly momentum can change in professional wrestling.
