PITTSBURGH — Chelsea Green doesn’t care about your medical timelines. Standing on the grass of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ practice facility, the WWE Superstar lined up a kick that would make most NFL prospects sweat. With a “broken ankle” still supposedly mending, Green swung her leg and sent the ball sailing through the uprights. She didn’t just make the shot; she took a bow and immediately demanded a raise from Triple H.
Defying the Doctors in the Steel City
The Steelers shared the footage of Green’s unexpected tryout on March 26, 2026, just 24 hours before Friday Night SmackDown took over the PPG Paints Arena. Fans watched in disbelief as the former two-time Women’s United States Champion moved with surprising fluidity. Despite sporting a walking boot in recent weeks, Green’s leg strength looked undisputed. The video immediately went viral, sparking a firestorm of speculation about her actual physical status heading into the biggest month of the wrestling calendar.
Green has been sidelined from the ring since February 6, 2026. She sustained a fracture during a brutal Triple Threat match against Tiffany Stratton and Lash Legend—a high-stakes Elimination Chamber qualifier that ended her WrestleMania dreams, or so we thought. Since that night, she has been a constant presence on television, often seen in a wheelchair or using her injury to bait opponents into a false sense of security.
“Thank you! With a broken ankle. I want a raise. I want a raise!”
— Chelsea Green, WWE Superstar
Road to WrestleMania 42
This stunt isn’t just a social media highlight; it’s a massive signal for the Raw and SmackDown rosters. We are officially three weeks away from WrestleMania 42 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. If Green can drive a football through the uprights at a professional facility, she can certainly deliver a “Prettier” on the grandest stage of them all.
The timing of her recovery is a headache for the rest of the women’s division. Before the injury, Green and Ethan Page were dominating the scene, though they recently dropped their AAA World Mixed Tag Team titles to Mr. Iguana and Lola Vice in a match that took place just 24 hours after her ankle snapped. Her return would immediately disrupt the current title pictures on the blue brand. Whether she’s actually “healed” or simply working through the pain, Chelsea Green remains the most unpredictable force in the industry.
