Update on Chelsea Green’s WWE Championship Status Following Injury

WWE is expected to keep Chelsea Green as champion while she recovers from a broken orbital bone and misses several weeks.

  • WWE Women's Champion Chelsea Green is expected to retain her title despite suffering a broken orbital bone during a match on last Friday's "SmackDown."
  • Green captured the championship at SummerSlam following Rhea Ripley's knee surgery, though her first reign hit a setback when a spot gone wrong resulted in her facial injury.
  • WrestleVotes reported Thursday that WWE will not strip Green of the belt, with officials reportedly impressed by social media numbers generated during her title victory.
  • Alongside partner Lash Legend, Nia Jax attacked Green following her loss to Fatal Influence, seemingly positioning Jax as the champion's first challenger.
  • While Green is expected to miss several weeks, she will remain on television in a non-wrestling role, with a potential in-ring return targeted for early September.
