Chelsea Green Expected To Wear A Face Mask On WWE SmackDown

Chelsea Green is expected to have a new look on WWE SmackDown, with Green expected to wear a protective face mask after her recent nose break.

Green suffered the injury after taking a kick to the face by new Women’s United States Champion Zelina Vega at Saturday Night’s Main Event, with Green believed to have suffered a clean break, althought she is not expected to miss time from TV.

In an update, Fightful Select have reported that Green will wrestle under a protective face mask and will remain on TV as the break heals. For what it's worth, Green is said to have earned plaudits backstage for how she dealt with the injury, especially milking the break on social media which WWE’s media teams capitalised upon.

Green will be far from the first wrestler to perform under a face mask, with Cody Rhodes wrestling under one when he was ‘Dashing’, whilst Sheamus, Carmella, and Trish Stratus have also worked under protective masks after suffering facial injuries.

The inaugural Women’s United States Champion recently signed a new deal with WWE and has been praised for her work in recent months.
