Is The WWE Women’s Championship Cursed...Chelsea Green Is Now Injured
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
Chelsea Green addressed her recent injury directly, revealing that she suffered a broken orbital bone after sustaining head trauma during live television action last night. While acknowledging that injuries are an occupational hazard in professional wrestling, she expressed frustration and sadness over the timing of the incident, noting how unusual it is for her to play through such severe pain compared to previous experiences. Despite the physical agony and the uncertainty regarding her recovery timeline, Chelsea maintained a positive outlook, emphasizing that they will take things day by day while continuing their pursuit of world domination despite this minor setback.
The video suggests that even before this injury occurred, signs were already present indicating that Chelsea's reign as WWE Women's Champion might be short-lived. The narrator points out the controversial booking on Smackdown where she was pinned immediately after winning the title at SummerSlam to replace Nia Jax following her knee surgery, a move that felt like writing on the wall for an interim status rather than a long-term future. With Nia Jax now returning and known for having heavy hands, there is significant concern about whether Chelsea can safely continue feuding with her while wearing a face covering or if she will be forced to relinquish the championship due to the severity of her head injury.
Beyond the immediate circumstances of the match result, the commentary highlights broader systemic issues within WWE regarding how they handle injured champions who are not considered top-tier favorites by management. The speaker argues that Chelsea's situation reflects a pattern where talent is used as a placeholder until another star returns or becomes available, rather than being given genuine support to recover and continue their career. This approach was compared to past instances involving other wrestlers like Dolph Ziggler, who lost his world title opportunity after an injury because the company did not offer him a second chance, leaving fans feeling that external forces are actively hindering deserving performers regardless of their talent or popularity.
Ultimately, while there is hope for Chelsea Green's speedy recovery and a desire to see her keep the championship if possible through accommodations like face coverings, the prevailing sentiment is one of disappointment regarding how WWE typically handles such situations. The narrator expresses personal reluctance to see Nia Jax become champion again unless it leads to a feud with Rhea Ripley or another compelling storyline, but acknowledges that many fans might welcome seeing Nia in the title once more. As Chelsea continues her healing process and receives support from dedicated fans who dress up as her, the video concludes by inviting viewers to share their opinions on whether she should retain the belt or if dropping it is inevitable given WWE's current booking decisions and treatment of injured talent.

But we're going to check out and see
what Chelsea had to say for herself
involving her injury.
>> Hey guys. Um, so I was trying to keep
this kind of [clears throat] private,
but the internet knows everything, so I
thought I'd come on here and clear um
clear things up. I did get injured last
night.
Stuff happens. It's live television.
It's wrestling. It's an occupational
hazard. Um, [clears throat] I ended up
in the emergency room and I have a
broken orbital bone.
>> It looks amazing all things considered.
Um, it feels awful but looks pretty
amazing. I have no idea what that means
for me. You know, usually you guys have
seen me like play into every single
injury. Um,
but like this feels different.
Obviously, this feels very different. It
feels frustrating. I'm upset. I feel
like if I didn't have bad luck, I've had
I'd have no luck at all. Um,
so I just need to take a little bit more
time to like process and to kind of heal
from obviously like the head trauma that
is going on right now. Um, and then
>> damn, man.
>> We're just going to take it day by day.
So,
world domination continues. We've just
had a minor blip.
I like the her being optimistic, man. I
do. Fact that she's being optimistic
about the whole situ situation. I I do
appreciate that. The only problem is I
think the writing's on the wall. Uh I
think you guys can kind of tell where
this could possibly end up leading to.
Um, even before the injury, like I said
earlier in the video, the way they had
her get pinned in that match on
Smackdown, you're a WWE women's champion
getting pinned as soon as she gets the
belt. The writing was on the wall then.
You can you can tell, okay, she's not
going to be holding this title that
long. And then with Nia Jax coming into
the mix, I do think she's probably going
to end up being a transitional champion.
and Nia Jax will end up, you know,
taking the title from her. Granted, we
don't know, you know, the status of, you
know, what she's going to be able to do
with that uh um orbital broken orbital
bone. Maybe they could have her wearing
a face covering. That's something they
could do depending on how severe it is.
Not sure, especially if she's feuding
with Nia. Y'all know Nia got some heavy
hands, so I don't know if that would be
the best option either. Um, but it does
seem even before the injury that they
weren't going to have the title on her
long. Um, and with Nia being inserted
into the mix, uh, I can definitely see
that, you know, her dropping the title
relatively soon. Now, with this injury,
she may be forced to relinquish the
title, and that's going to be also
unfortunate. Yeah, she ended up, you
know, winning it at SummerSlam and she
was the interim champion and then we
found out that Ria Ripley had surgery on
her knee. So, she's going to be gone for
quite some time. So, they took the
interim part off and now she's the
official WWE Women's Champion only to
lose, get pinned on Smackdown and then
get injured on that same episode. And
now this could be a situation where she
is forced to relinquish the belt. um
depending on the severity of it, what
WWE's willing to do there. And you know,
Nia Jax could be the new women's
champion. And here's the thing about
that. If they were to take the title off
of Chelsea, which I see that coming in
relatively soon, um I'm not really
looking forward to Nia being champ. Only
if it leads to something to maybe Lash
Legend uh feuding with her. Maybe. I'm
personally not looking forward to it,
but maybe there's some other people that
would like to see Nia as champion again.
Me, I'm kind of like, h [clears throat]
it's not moving the needle for me. Um,
but I think this is just unfortunate,
bro. She She's had some pretty bad luck.
And not to mention the people in the
back. It's the people in the back that,
you know, kind of control her destiny in
the company. And the fact that Michael
Hayes has come out and actively said
she's not one of the top people in our
business. She's just there to enhance
other talent only for her to finally get
to that moment and get the title then
get injured right afterwards and be
booked to lose, you know, after winning
the title, getting pinned. It's just
like there's a lot of external forces
that just, you know, be kind of
hindering Chelsea Green. But the one
thing I can say, she she stays positive.
She seems positive in this situation and
ultimately, you know, trying to make the
best of it. And it was cool to see so
many fans dress up like her and and give
her give her some love. But I also
understand that with WWE, if you're not
one of their favorites,
they they'll give you a bone, but that's
about it. And then afterwards, you know,
the questionable booking happens and
ultimately you end up even though you're
supposed to be the guy or the girl now
cuz you have the title. If they don't
really back you, you can have it's just
a placeholder. Hey, here you go. we got
this for you until you know somebody
else, you know, gets better like a aka
Ria Ripley or we'll just substitute you
for somebody else that we want to have
on the roster for Ria to come back and
beat. I don't know. It's that's just how
it is in WWE. It's been like that for a
long time, even before uh Vince McMahon
left. So, this is nothing new. But hey,
I'm wishing her a speedy recovery. It's
something about this women world uh
women's uh WWE Championship. It's just
man like [clears throat] man Maria
getting hurt with it now. Uh Chelsea
getting hurt with it. The women's
division on Smackdown is you know
they're trying to find something you
know to kind of build it up. Uh but it's
you know injuries is also you know it's
been a been a a issue for sure and
hopefully they can get things squared
away on the Smackdown side of things but
with Chelsea Green a speedy recovery.
Hopefully she doesn't have to drop the
title too soon. But the way WWE is, oh,
you're injured. This gives us more of a
reason to put the title on somebody
else. Like, you know how they are.
You've seen it before. We've seen it
with like people like Dolph Ziggler. He
got injured and they was like, "All
right, well, we're gonna have to go
ahead and get the title off of you." And
he never saw the world title scene ever
again. It It sucks. It's really
unfortunate. They be like, "You get
injured, that's it. You're you're
cooked." They ain't really We ain't
going to give you another chance. It's
It's unfortunate. But hey, comment down
below. Let me know what do you guys
think they should do with Chelsea's
injury. Should they allow her to keep
the title? Uh maybe wear a face mask or
some face covering or do y'all think um
they'll have her drop the title
ultimately to like Nia Jax relatively
quick because of this injury? Y'all let
me know what they what y'all think they
should do with Chelsea in this
particular situation. But I appreciate
all love support. Road two 200K.
Appreciate y'all kicking with me. See
you on the next one. Peace.
