Chelsea Green is anticipated to make her return to WWE television following an orbital bone injury sustained last week during a tag match on "WWE SmackDown." Green had just become the Interim WWE Women's Champion at SummerSlam, where the title was contested due to Rhea Ripley's injury. While WWE is optimistic about her recovery, Green will not be wrestling for the time being. Her non-wrestling presence on upcoming episodes may hint at continued storylines involving Fatal Influence, though her status for tonight's "SmackDown" remains unconfirmed.
