Imagine dedicating months to training, strategizing, and perfecting your craft, only to have it all taken away in an instant due to an injury. That’s exactly what happened to Chelsea Green, who was abruptly pulled from her AAA Mixed Tag Team Title defense after suffering a foot injury on SmackDown. But here’s where it gets controversial—despite her absence, the match went on without her, leaving fans and Green herself questioning the decision. Let’s dive into the details.
On February 8, 2026, WWE announced that Chelsea Green, one half of the reigning AAA Mixed Tag Team Champions, would be unable to compete in the scheduled title defense alongside her partner, Ethan Page. The duo was set to face off against Lola Vice and Mr. Iguana on the AAA on Fox broadcast. However, a severe foot injury sustained during the February 6th episode of SmackDown forced Green to step aside. La Hiedra was quickly named as her replacement, but the outcome was far from what Green and Page had hoped for.
In the match that aired on February 7th, Lola Vice and Mr. Iguana emerged victorious, dethroning Green and Page as champions. And this is the part most people miss—Green took to social media to express her frustration, sharing a photo of her foot in a walking boot and calling out AAA for their decision. Her tweet read, ‘The AUDACITY of [Lucha Libre AAA] to throw [Ethan Page] into a match like that after I almost ended my career on Smackdown last night from a near fatal fall. Ethan, we need to talk!!!’ The post sparked debate among fans, with some questioning whether the match should have been postponed or canceled altogether.
While Lola Vice and Mr. Iguana celebrate their new reign as AAA Mixed Tag Team Champions, the wrestling world is left wondering about Green’s future. The severity of her injury and her return timeline remain unclear, leaving fans concerned about her recovery. Here’s a thought-provoking question for you—was AAA justified in proceeding with the match without Green, or should they have prioritized her health and the integrity of the championship?
