Rhea Ripley, the current WWE Women’s Champion, is out with an injury that required surgery. She’s out long enough the company decided to crown an interim champion at SummerSlam by holding a ladder match with five participants. Chelsea Green emerged from the pack as the unlikely winner, to a thunderous ovation from the fine folks at the U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
She managed to come out of that ladder match unscathed. That was not the case with her first match after the fact on Friday
Night SmackDown this week in Philadelphia.
That’s the word from Bryan Alvarez, at least, who reports at F4WOnline.com that Green was injured during her tag team match alongside United States Champion Tiffany Stratton against Fatal Influence. Alvarez goes on to say “we don’t know the exact injury at this point but hopefully she won’t be out of action too long.”
As of this writing, WWE nor Green has publicly commented on the matter.
Here’s to hoping Green avoided anything serious.
