WWE’s Chelsea Green has announced on social media that she has suffered a broken ankle during her Elimination Chamber qualifying match on the February 6, 2026, episode of SmackDown. Initially, it was thought to be a severe sprain after Green posted images of her badly bruised ankle on X.com, but it is unfortunately far worse. Healing times for a broken ankle vary, and how long she is sidelined from the ring will likely be determined by whether she requires surgery or not.
34-year-old Green has faced a tough injury history in wrestling, having suffered a broken collarbone, multiple broken arms and wrists, and several busted noses. Yet despite these repeated injuries and setbacks, the resilient “Hot Mess” has always bounced back stronger, winning titles and captivating fans. Therefore, it can only be hoped that she heals quickly and returns to the ring sooner rather than later.
