Summary

A new report says Chelsea Green is making strong progress in her injury recovery, with internal optimism that she could be cleared sooner rather than later.

The same update says Green pushed to remain on television and is expected to stay a prominent character on SmackDown and AAA.

Green suffered an ankle injury on the February 6 episode of SmackDown during a triple threat match against Tiffany Stratton and Lash Legend, and she has remained on screen in a wheelchair.

Chelsea Green’s on-screen push keeps SmackDown plans active during rehab

Green staying visible while recovering gives SmackDown continuity in her character presentation, and the immediate consequence is that WWE can keep her involved in weekly stories before she is medically cleared.

The report’s “sooner rather than later” note also keeps expectations open for a quicker transition from wheelchair appearances back to in-ring participation.
