“Fingers crossed for a quick comeback,” she wrote in a post on her Instagram Stories.

Green was seen with a bruise under her eye.

She announced over the weekend that she suffered a broken orbital bone just days after becoming the interim WWE women’s champion in a ladder match at SummerSlam.

“I did get injured last night. Stuff happens. It’s live television. It’s wrestling. It’s an occupational hazard,” Green said in a video posted to her Instagram. “I ended up in the emergency room and I have a broken orbital bone. It looks amazing all things considered. It feels awful but looks pretty amazing.”

“I have no idea what that means for me. Usually, you guys have seen me play into every single injury, but this feels different, obviously. This feels very different. It feels frustrating. I’m upset. I feel like if I didn’t have bad luck, I’d have no luck at all. So, I just need to take a bit more time to process and to heal from, obviously, the head trauma that is going on right now, and then we’ll see what happens. We’re just gonna take it day by day. So, world domination continues. We’ve just had a minor blip.”

It’s unclear where the title picture will go from here.

Rhea Ripley, who was the WWE women’s champion, announced earlier this month that she underwent knee surgery and will be out for some time. The Interim WWE Women’s Championship was created in lieu of Ripley’s injury, but Green’s bad luck appeared to throw the scene in flux.
