Chelsea Green is done with her operation
WWE star Chelsea Green has endured a turbulent 2026, and the latest development has added another chapter to what has already been a challenging year. Just days after making a visible recovery from an ankle injury, Green revealed she underwent a heart procedure.
The former Women’s United States Champion had been sidelined earlier in the year after suffering an ankle injury on the February 6 episode of WWE SmackDown. Despite the setback, she remained active on television, continuing to appear in segments.
Her resilience was on full display when she recently stood up from her wheelchair on WWE SmackDown, signaling a remarkable recovery, only for a new health concern to emerge shortly after.
Chelsea Green reveals SVT diagnosis and procedure
Green took to social media to share the news, confirming that doctors had finally diagnosed her condition after years of uncertainty.
“After 10 years, doctors finally caught my SVT and I was able to get a heart procedure done! 3 hours later and I’m on the mend,” Green said.
SVT, or supraventricular tachycardia, is a condition that causes a rapid heart rate due to irregular electrical activity. While the procedure itself typically allows patients to return to normal activities within a week, full recovery can take up to one to three months.
The announcement adds context to what Green has been dealing with behind the scenes, highlighting the physical challenges she has quietly battled alongside her in-ring career.
What’s next for Chelsea Green in WWE?
Despite the medical setback, questions now turn to Green’s immediate future in the company. In recent weeks, she has been involved in segments attempting to align herself with Tiffany Stratton, the reigning Women’s United States Champion. With Piper Niven sidelined and Alba Fyre no longer with the company, Green has lacked a consistent on-screen ally.
Stratton, meanwhile, is currently navigating her own challenges, including rivalries with Giulia and Kiana James. An alliance with Green could offer strategic advantages as the division grows more competitive.
Given that Green remained on television during her ankle injury, it is possible she could continue appearing in non-wrestling roles while recovering from the procedure.
Chelsea Green’s 2026 has been defined by setbacks, but also by persistence. From competing through injury to undergoing a long-awaited medical procedure, her journey reflects determination both inside and outside the ring.
As WWE continues to build its women’s division, Green’s presence, whether in the ring or backstage, remains valuable. For now, the focus shifts to her recovery and a potential return to full competition in the months ahead.
