Chelsea Green Injured, Suffering Broken Orbital Bone

Chelsea Green, the Interim WWE Women's Champion, has announced that she sustained a broken orbital bone during the latest episode of WWE SmackDown held in Philadelphia. This injury follows a recent surgery undergone by reigning champion Rhea Ripley for a torn meniscus.

Green confirmed her injury through an Instagram video, displaying bruising around her eye. She mentioned that the injury occurred during the live broadcast and expressed her frustration over the situation, noting that she ended up in the emergency room. The specific moment of the injury remains unclear, and her timeline for recovery is yet to be determined.

Previously, Green won the interim title in a Ladder Match at WWE SummerSlam. She was set to celebrate her victory on SmackDown but instead participated in a Women's Tag Team Championship match, where she was pinned. Meanwhile, WWE officials are optimistic about Ripley's return by the Royal Rumble event scheduled for February 2027.
