WWE legend Nattie appeared on Busted Open Radio to discuss various topics, including the orbital bone injury suffered by WWE Women’s Champion Chelsea Green.
Nattie said, “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 could benefit 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.”
Green sustained the injury on SmackDown after winning the title at SummerSlam. She has more than 15 days to get medically cleared to defend the title.
