Good News For Chelsea Green? Backstage Belief Revealed After Walking Boot Sighting

There is finally some positive news regarding the status of Chelsea Green following a frightening weekend for the WWE Superstar. After being spotted in a walking boot and missing a scheduled championship defense for AAA, fears mounted that the “Hot Mess” had suffered a severe break that would sideline her for months. However, a new report suggests that Green may have avoided the worst-case scenario.

Report: Injury Believed To Be A “Bad Sprain”

According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, the internal belief within the company is that Green’s injury is a sprain rather than a Aacture. “In asking around this morning, the belief within WWE is that Chelsea Green suffered a bad sprain but did not break her foot or ankle,” Johnson reported. While “bad sprains” can still be painful and require significant rehabilitation, avoiding a break is a massive victory for a talent hoping to be active during WrestleMania season.

Despite the optimistic diagnosis, Green is not out of the woods yet. The report noted that there is currently “no word how long she will be out of action.” The recovery timeline for a severe sprain can vary wildly, ranging from a few weeks to a couple of months depending on the grade of the injury. Until official medical clearance is given, her immediate future remains a question mark.

The injury reportedly occurred during a physical Triple Threat Elimination Chamber qualifying match on the February 6 episode of SmackDown against Tiffany Stratton and Lash Legend. The commentary team noted the injury during the broadcast, but the real fallout was felt on Saturday. Green was forced to miss a scheduled AAA Mixed Tag Team Championship defense on AAA on Fox.

Appearing via FaceTime in a walking boot, Green broke the news that she could not compete. She was replaced by La Hiedra, who teamed with Ethan Page in a losing effort against Lola Vice and Mr. Iguana. The loss ended Green and Page’s title reign, adding insult to injury for the sidelined star. Following the title change, Green took to social media to vent her frustrations, though this latest update on her health may provide a silver lining to a difficult weekend.
