Chelsea Green has provided a positive health update just one week after undergoing a procedure to treat a heart condition.

Green revealed on social media that she is officially off bed rest following her operation on May 4, which was done to correct supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), a condition that causes an abnormally fast heart rate originating in the upper chambers of the heart.

“1 week post op – off bed rest!,” Green wrote. “One thing about me: sitting still is my nightmare. Thank you to everyone who called, texted, dm’d, etc. I felt very, very loved this week.”

The update comes shortly after Green underwent treatment for the issue, which had reportedly affected her for some time before being properly diagnosed.

Chelsea Green Recovery Update After SVT Procedure

Green’s condition came to light around WrestleMania 42, when she experienced a serious episode that saw her heart rate spike to 228 beats per minute for nearly 15 minutes.

Following that scare, she moved forward with the procedure earlier this month and had been on bed rest during the initial recovery period.

Alongside her update, Green shared an image of multiple flower arrangements she received while recovering, including one sent by the “WWE: Unreal” docuseries team.

Despite being sidelined, Green still appeared on last week’s episode of WWE SmackDown through a pre-recorded social media video. During the segment, she continued her ongoing storyline involving Tiffany Stratton.

In the video, Green mentioned she had been trying to contact Stratton but had not received a response. She also apologized for not being present during Stratton’s Women’s United States Championship defense against Kiana James.

Green is a two-time Women’s United States Champion, with her most recent reign running from November 2025 through January 2026.

In addition to her recent heart procedure, Green has also been out of in-ring competition since February due to an ankle injury.

While there is still no official timeline for her return to action, her latest update suggests she is making steady progress in her recovery.

Thekla believes she has officially reached the top of her wrestling career following her rise to becoming AEW Women’s World Champion.

Back in February, “The Toxic Spider” captured the AEW Women’s World Championship by defeating Kris Statlander in a strap match. Now, she is preparing for another major defense at AEW Double or Nothing, where she will defend the title in a fatal four-way match against Kris Statlander, Hikaru Shida, and Jamie Hayter.

During an interview with Westwood One Sports, Thekla was asked whether she currently feels she is at the peak of her career.

“Yeah. Yeah. I think the AEW Women’s World Championship is a pretty prestigious title all over wrestling, but especially in the States,” Thekla said. “So I think this is probably the peak for a lot of people. I think in a lot of people’s eyes, yeah. Me personally, sure. Yeah. Gold is gold, and that’s the shiniest one, and it’s the heaviest one, honestly, so far.”

Thekla Talks AEW Title, Blood In Wrestling, And Mercedes Mone

Thekla also joked about the physical weight of the AEW Women’s World Championship belt itself.

“It’s really fucking heavy,” she said while comparing the official title belt to replica versions. “When I was handed mine the first time, I was like, ‘oh god damn.’ It’s a little workout getting in and out of that ring with the title.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Thekla discussed blood in professional wrestling and explained why she has intentionally avoided bleeding in AEW so far despite competing in violent matches.

According to Thekla, blood can create major drama and intensity in matches, but only when used carefully.

“I think you gotta be careful with that shit because it is so potent,” Thekla explained. “It can create so much drama and it really can enhance something. But when you see it all the fucking time, it loses the magic.”

She added that while she enjoys hardcore wrestling elements, she has deliberately protected that aspect of her own character since arriving in AEW.

“If you noticed what I’ve been doing, I’ve been in matches with blood here since I’ve been in AEW, but me, I haven’t been bleeding. I’m saving myself. Also, I’m the champ.”

Thekla also briefly discussed Hikaru Shida while playing a name association game during the interview.

“I think she’s a sneaky snake,” Thekla said while teasing anticipation for how Shida could potentially manipulate situations involving Kris Statlander.

Meanwhile, when Mercedes Moné was brought up, Thekla refused to fully comment but hinted there may eventually be a larger story connected to the two.

“That’s a tough one,” Thekla said. “I’m not gonna answer that because I think there will be a day where I’m going to reveal stuff that is interesting about me in relation to Mercedes.”

The comments continue building intrigue around Thekla’s growing role in AEW as she heads into another major title defense at Double or Nothing.

More information has surfaced regarding Asuka stepping away from WWE following her emotional farewell-style segment on the May 11 episode of WWE RAW.

The former WWE Women’s Champion said goodbye to IYO SKY during a backstage segment that aired two days after their match at WWE Backlash. The moment followed an emotional embrace between the two stars after their bout, immediately fueling speculation about Asuka’s future.

Later during RAW, Michael Cole added even more uncertainty by stating that Asuka’s WWE future was “up in the air.”

New Details On Asuka WWE Absence

During Fightful’s RAW post-show, Sean Ross Sapp revealed additional information regarding Asuka’s planned hiatus and clarified that her situation is unrelated to WWE’s recent roster cuts or contract issues.

“I found out definitively what’s going on,” Sapp said. “The person who said there’s personal stuff going on, that’s accurate.”

Sapp noted that he did not want to publicly elaborate on the specific personal matters involved, but stated he was directly told Asuka was not part of WWE’s recent releases and was not asked to take a pay cut.

“She signed a new deal in 2024. It was a multi-year deal,” Sapp explained.

According to the report, WWE was not expecting or hoping for Asuka to take time away from television, but ultimately supported her decision because of the circumstances involved.

“Asuka had approached WWE and said, ‘Stuff I’ve got to attend to,’” Sapp stated. “It’s back in Japan, she’s going to be spending some time there.”

At this point, there is reportedly no confirmed timeline regarding how long Asuka could remain away from WWE programming.

Sapp also emphasized how highly respected Asuka remains internally within the company.

“Asuka is beloved in that company,” he said while adding that several people within WWE reached out to defend her once speculation started regarding possible cuts or contract disputes.

“We can’t speak higher of the job that she does,” Sapp quoted WWE sources as saying.

Although WWE presented Monday’s RAW segment like a possible farewell, the latest reports continue pointing toward a temporary hiatus rather than a full retirement from wrestling.
