Chelsea Green was originally scheduled to be a part of the WWE Queen of the Ring tournament on the June 13 episode of SmackDown, but those plans ultimately changed, with Alba Fyre replacing her faction mate in the first-round match.
Green was written out of the match in an angle which stated the former Women's United States Champion wasn't at the venue in Lexington, Kentucky. Green legitimately wasn't in the area, with Fightful Select reporting that Green didn't travel to the show because of a sinus infection which resulted in her being hospitalised after experiencing hearing loss.
Green was able to heal quickly and she appeared on the June 20 episode of SmackDown. WWE producers complimented Green's quick turnaround.
Green's sinus infection was unrelated to the broken nose that the former WWE Women's Tag Team Champion sustained at Saturday Night's Main Event following a botched 619 from Zelina Vega.
Chelsea Green recently re-signed with the company as her original contract was due to expire later this year.
