Story Confidence: 🟢 Reported — title expected to remain with Green
Chelsea Green is expected to remain WWE Women’s Champion despite suffering a broken orbital bone, with the latest reports indicating that WWE does not currently plan to strip her of the championship.
Green suffered the injury during the August 7 episode of WWE SmackDown, just days after winning the interim WWE Women’s Championship at SummerSlam.
Green expected to keep her title
The latest backstage update is positive for Green.
According to a report published August 13, WWE remains optimistic about her recovery and does not currently expect to remove her from television or strip her of the championship.
Green is expected to miss several weeks of in-ring action, although WWE has not announced a specific return date.
That means her championship reign can continue while she recovers.
The injury came at a difficult time
Green won the Interim WWE Women's Championship at SummerSlam in a five-woman ladder match.
Her victory came because Rhea Ripley is currently sidelined with an injury, creating the need for an interim champion.
Green's own injury therefore created an awkward situation only days after she reached the biggest singles championship moment of her WWE career.
For now, however, WWE appears determined to keep the storyline moving.
Green could remain part of SmackDown
The latest reports indicate that Green is expected to remain part of WWE programming even while she is unable to compete.
That would allow WWE to continue developing her championship storyline without requiring her to wrestle before she is medically cleared.
Her next appearance could therefore provide another important update on the title situation.
Sevens Sports Arena analysis
The decision to keep Green as champion makes sense from a storyline perspective.
Her reign is still extremely new, and stripping her immediately would bring an abrupt end to a championship victory that WWE had only just established.
Keeping Green on television also gives the company the flexibility to build anticipation for her eventual return.
The bigger question is what happens when Rhea Ripley is ready to return.
Because Green currently holds the interim championship, WWE ultimately has to determine how the two title situations will be resolved.
A future championship-unification match could become a major storyline once both women are healthy.
For now, though, the message is clear:
Chelsea Green remains champion, WWE is optimistic about her recovery, and there are currently no plans to strip her of the title.
