Chelsea Green started out this week on cloud nine, but her first official night as the Interim WWE Women's Champion ended on a more ominous note.Friday night's episode of SmackDown featured an impromptu tag team bout, where Green and Women's United States Champion Tiffany Stratton unsuccessfully challenged Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship.The match was booked after Fatal Influence interrupted Green's championship celebration, and Jacy Jayne played a key role in the outcome when she blasted Chelsea with a Rolling Encore behind the referee's back. That allowed Henley and Reid to deliver their Fatal Flaw double team finisher and pin the brand new WWE Women's Champion.Chelsea Green was reportedly injured during Friday Night SmackDownNia Jax and Lash Legend would then hit the ring after the match was over to attack Tiffany and Chelsea, and Nia closed out the show by holding up the WWE Women's Title belt. Upon a second review of the segment, neither Jax or Legend laid a finger on Chelsea during their assault. Referee Ryan Tran made sure they stayed away, and we now know why it appears.Bryan Alvarez of the Wrestling Observer reported Saturday night that Chelsea Green did suffer an undisclosed injury during her match on SmackDown, but he was unable to provide much more information beyond that. “Chelsea Green was injured during the match on Smackdown last night. We don’t know the exact injury at this point but hopefully she won’t be out of action too long.”Chelsea Green | WWEHopefully indeed. Chelsea Green outlasted Charlotte Flair, Tiffany Stratton, Jade Cargill and Lash Legend in a ladder match this past Sunday night at SummerSlam to capture her first world championship in WWE. It was a beautiful career moment for Chelsea, who endured 13 years worth of professional setbacks, including numerous injuries, to finally earn this opportunity.Green's injury came a little more than a day after WWE Women's Champion Rhea Ripley announced that she underwent surgery to repair her injured right knee. Mami suffered a partially torn meniscus earlier this summer, and while she initially wanted to avoid a corrective procedure, it ultimately turned out to be necessary. WWE is reportedly hoping to have Ripley back in the fold before next February's Royal Rumble Premium Live Event, which created a golden opportunity for Chelsea Green to have an extended run as the WWE Women's Champion, even if it came with the interim tag. We wish Chelsea Green all the best, and yes, hopefully she'll be back in action very soon.Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
