This prompted Vega to finish the move by kicking Green in the face and breaking Chelsea’s nose.
Green started bleeding immediately after the kick and lost to Zelina Vega.
In an update on Chelsea, Dave Meltzer reported that the former women’s United States champion Green’s broken nose was a clean break, but she likely won’t miss any episodes because of the injury. He added,
“Chelsea Green broke her nose. It was a clean break, so it’s not bad and I think she’s going to stay on television from what I gather. She got that from the 619 from Zelina Vega,”

Additionally, Chelsea Green suffered a wardrobe malfunction while getting pinned by Zelina Vega for a win.
Following the match, Green reacted to her broken nose, tweeting a photo of her screaming while covered in blood. She wrote,
