WWE issued an official statement later, informing fans about her condition. The company confirmed that Green had suffered a broken wrist and would be out of action until further notice.
In a recent post on Twitter, Chelsea Green spoke to fans for the first time since the incident. She assured the WWE Universe that this injury was just a minor setback. She will be making a return to SmackDown upon her recovery.
Just like the rest of my career, I couldn’t have an easy debut! LOL, that just wouldn’t be fit for my wild journey.
I’m headed into surgery now. I am beyond devastated but so excited to be a part of @WWE team SmackDown, when I get back! 💙— CHELSEA GREEN (@ImChelseaGreen) November 14, 2020
Green has been dynamite in the box for WWE. Shining in NXT, fans fully expected her to make a huge run happen on the main roster. However, she has been plagued with such injuries.
Chelsea Green shared X-Rays of her broken wrist on Instagram
WWE confirmed in the brief injury report that she had been taken to the hospital for further checks. Green later shared a picture of herself in a hospital bed on Instagram. The pictures also showed X-Rays of her broken wrist.
At first, WWE received a lot of criticism for making her lose on her debut. Chelsea was out of the ring for the better part of the match. Liv Morgan picked up the win and became the final member of Team SmackDown heading into Survivor Series.

The cause for her injury could be the drop-kick she received that sent her out of the ring. It could also probably be the fall after the dropkick.

On her return, we can expect a major push for Green and possibly a run with the SmackDown Women’s Championship. Right now, WWE can focus on settling the Sasha Banks vs Bayley feud which has seen interference from a returning Carmella.
