Chelsea Green's ankle injury is a bruise and not a break, according to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Daily Update, and she is not expected to miss significant time.
Green suffered the injury during Friday's Women's Elimination Chamber qualifying match on SmackDown, where she competed against Tiffany Stratton and Lash Legend. The injury forced her out of her scheduled AAA Mixed Tag Team Championship defense the following night.

Green Reacts on Social Media
Green took to X after the title change, writing, "The AUDACITY of @luchalibreaaa to throw @OfficialEGO into a match like that after I almost ended my career on SmackDown last night from a near fatal fall. Ethan, we need to talk!!!" She also shared photos of her badly bruised ankle.
While Green has played up the severity on social media — calling the injury "career-threatening" on Instagram — Meltzer's report suggests she should be back in action soon, which is welcome news heading into Elimination Chamber and WrestleMania season.
