Chelsea Green was unable to walk away from her latest match on WWE SmackDown unscathed as she suffered an injury.
It was first reported by Bryan Alvarez of the Wrestling Observer that Green suffered an injury during this match. The Women’s Champion later took to social media to confirm she did get injured. Green also confirmed that the injury was a broken orbital bone:
“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.”
Continuing, Green added that she is uncertain of what happens next:
“I have no idea what that means for me. Usually, you guys have seen me play into every single injury. But this feels different, obviously. It feels frustrating. I’m upset. I feel like if I didn’t have bad luck I’ve had I’d have no luck at all. So I just need to take a little bit more time to like process and to heal from the head trauma that is going on right now. Then, we’ll see what happens.”
