Chelsea Green is on the mend and in good spirits. Speaking with Denise Salcedo on the red carpet at the WWE 2K26 Creator Fest on February 23, Green provided the most encouraging update yet on her ankle injury — while delivering every bit of personality fans have come to expect from her.
Green confirmed she chipped her ankle rather than suffering a full break, calling herself fortunate given the circumstances.
I chipped my ankle, the side of it. It's painful, but I feel like I got very, very, very lucky," she said.
She added that her recovery is ahead of schedule.
I'm healing up much faster than I thought I would be.
In classic Chelsea Green fashion, she noted she had already ditched her protective boot — though perhaps not for strictly medical reasons. "I'm out of the boot — but only for the fashion," she said, drawing laughs.
When asked about her potential timeline, Green was emphatic. "No, no, no, I won't be [out long]. I'd never be."
Green's injury was initially reported as a fracture after she sustained the ankle scare during SmackDown earlier this month. The injury also forced her out of her scheduled AAA Mixed Tag Team Championship defense.
Outside of the injury update, Green also shared that she is currently on a "natural girl journey," having removed her hair extensions and taking Neutrifol vitamins for hair health. She quipped about the contrast of her full red carpet glam: "I've got 10 pounds of makeup on, so don't judge me."
