Chelsea Green‘s SmackDown in-ring debut was cut short, and now we know it’s because she suffered an unfortunate injury during the match.
Chelsea made her debut in a backstage segment with Adam Pearce before she was a last-minute entrant in a fatal 4-way match with a Survivor Series spot on the line. Green was quickly taken out of the match, leading to speculation about why she was in the match. As it turns out, she suffered a broken wrist and was taken to the hospital afterwards.
WWE.com posted the following update:
During the Fatal 4-Way Qualifying Match for the opportunity to qualify for the SmackDown Women’s Survivor Series team on Friday evening, Chelsea Green suffered a broken left wrist.
Chelsea was taken to a local hospital for further evaluation.
Chelsea Green has also commented on her injury, posting the following on Instagram:
Just another twist in my @wwe story tonight!
If you wondered where I went after my entrance, here’s your answer… another broken arm. Nothing I haven’t dealt with before! I’ll be back before you know it!
No other details about how Green broke her wrist were given but it would appear it happened during a spot on the apron. In an odd twist of fate, Green also broke her wrist in her NXT debut in 2019. This was her first match since May 27 when she teamed with Charlotte Flair to defeat Io Shirai and Rhea Ripley.
