Chelsea Green made her SmackDown debut but also picked up a wrist injury in her match
Chelsea Green was one of the surprises on WWE SmackDown as she made her long-awaited debut.
The former NXT star was touted as the next big thing and made her way for a Fatal 4-way match. This was for a place in the SmackDown Women’s team for Survivor Series.
However, Green barely battled for a few minutes before she wasn’t seen in action. Liv Morgan got the win to celebrate her place in the team and more was revealed regarding Green.
WWE confirmed that Green had picked up a broken left wrist on her debut. This is bad luck for the former NXT star as she was away from TV for a while. Featuring on SmackDown certainly counts for Green but she was positive despite the severity of the injury.
She posted an update where she claimed this wasn’t the first bump in her career and added that she would be back soon.

Celebrations before the injury
Green making her debut on SmackDown got a lot of people talking though. Her husband, Matt Cardona (AKA Zack Ryder) was extremely pleased as she made her first appearance on the brand.
Further, many WWE stars such as Xia Li and Mia Yim were pleased seeing her back move to the Blue Brand.
Happy for @ImChelseaGreen 💙

Former WWE star Deonna Purrazzo, who is now on another promotion, was also quick to tweet how happy she was seeing Green on SmackDown.

While Green stays upbeat it is a little upsetting to see another rising star pick up an injury. WWE have seen several stars get injured in recent weeks, and we wish Green all the best in her recovery.
