Nattie Believes Injury Will Benefit Chelsea Green In Title Reign

Chelsea Green is dealing with a broken orbital bone at the start of her WWE Women’s Title reign, and Nattie thinks that will help her. As noted, Green suffered the injury on the episode of Smackdown after she won the title at SummerSlam. She currently has 21 days to get medically cleared so she can defend the title.

Nattie spoke about the situation on Busted Open Radio and argued that the injury works in Green’s favor as it gives her something she must overcome right away and keeps her on the “chase.” You can see the highlights below:

On the Orbital Break:

“I think that her breaking her orbital bone, her having this injury, is the best thing that could’ve happened to her as a brand new champion, because it’s giving her an impediment that she has to work through. That’s always the struggle. Once people win a championship, once a babyface wins a championship, you almost feel like the chase is over.”

On How It Benefits Green:

“We were all waiting for Chelsea to have this championship that was so elusive that she couldn’t get it, that she was always almost so, so, so close to having it. Then now, she’s finally got it, and then the next week, you’re like, ‘Okay, now what?’ Chelsea’s no longer chasing it. She’s no longer got an obstacle. This created a really organic and very real obstacle that continues to allow the audience to get really behind her.”
