Chelsea Green’s run as Interim WWE Women’s Champion may have hit an unexpected roadblock, as she reportedly suffered an injury during Friday night’s episode of SmackDown. Green teamed up with Tiffany Stratton on the show, with the duo challenging Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships. The bout ultimately ended with Henley scoring the pinfall over Green. According to a report from Bryan Alvarez, the nature and severity of Green’s injury remain unclear at this time. He said, “Chelsea Green was injured during the match on SmackDown last night. We don’t know the exact injury at this point, but hopefully she won’t be out of action too long.” The timing of the reported injury could be particularly significant for WWE. Green captured the Interim WWE Women’s Championship in a Ladder Match at SummerSlam 2026 (Night Two) last weekend after Rhea Ripley was sidelined following knee surgery. Neither Green nor WWE has publicly commented on the situation at this time.
