Chelsea Green Battles Through Adversity to Claim Interim WWE Women’s Championship

Chelsea Green has faced significant challenges on her journey to the peak of the WWE women’s division. Within the past year, she has endured various injuries, including a heart issue that required hospitalization and a procedure. Nevertheless, she overcame these obstacles to secure the interim WWE women’s championship recently at SummerSlam.

Last Friday, Green teamed up with Tiffany Stratton in a tag match against Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid. Unfortunately, Green sustained a broken orbital bone during the match. In a video shared on her Instagram, Green expressed her frustration, stating, “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. It looks amazing all things considered. It feels awful but looks pretty amazing.”

Green’s run of bad luck appears unrelenting, and she admitted the situation felt different from her previous injuries. “I have no idea what that means for me,” she commented. “Usually, you guys have seen me play into every single injury, but this feels different, obviously. This feels very different. It feels frustrating. I’m upset. I feel like if I didn’t have bad luck, I’d have no luck at all. So, I just need to take a bit more time to process and to heal from, obviously, the head trauma that is going on right now and then we’ll see what happens. We’re just gonna take it day by day. So, world domination continues. We’ve just had a minor blip.”

It remains uncertain whether Green will need to relinquish her hard-earned interim championship. She triumphed over four competitors in a ladder match at SummerSlam to capture the title.

Meanwhile, fellow WWE superstar Rhea Ripley disclosed last week that she had knee surgery and might be sidelined for several months. Ripley holds the WWE women’s championship; the interim title was introduced as a temporary measure leading up to SummerSlam.
