A two-time champion in WWE was absent from a recent show. The real reason has now been revealed.
Chelsea Green is one of the star performers on WWE SmackDown. The star, who was the inaugural Women’s United States Champion and a former Women’s Tag Team Champion, was absent from the June 13 episode of the Friday night show. She appeared via FaceTime to announce to General Manager Nick Aldis that she would not be able to make it to the show due to her being on ‘vacation.’ This led to her missing the qualifier for the Queen of the Ring Tournament and was replaced by Alba Fyre, Green’s stablemate.
However, the real reason seems more serious than that.

The real reason behind Chelsea Green’s WWE SmackDown absence has been revealed
It was recently reported by Fightful Select that the star was suffering from a health scare, which led to her missing the show.
The outlet revealed that Green did not travel to the show as she was dealing with a sinus infection. The infection was so severe that it led to hearing loss, forcing her to go to the emergency room. It seems that the real-life reason was serious enough for her absence, as Chelsea Green has been one of WWE’s biggest workhorses and has delivered consistently with her performances on-screen.
However, Green was present on the June 20 episode of SmackDown, where she lost to Charlotte Flair in a match. It remains to be seen what the future holds for her.
