WWE SmackDown preview (Aug. 28, 2026): Chelsea Green is returning to the ring way too soon

SmackDown airs tonight with a taped show (spoilers here) emanating from Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. This is the fourth episode of SmackDown during the nine week build to Money in the Bank, which takes place on October 10. Chelsea Green is returning to the ring way too soon It was two weeks ago when SmackDown GM Nick Aldis spoke with WWE’s medical team and decided that he needed to strip Chelsea Green of the interim WWE women’s championship due to her broken orbital bone. Green responded with an emotional promo where she convinced Aldis to give her up to 30 days to figure out how to get cleared to compete. Even though she wasn’t medically cleared, Chelsea did a run in on SmackDown last week wearing heels but with no protection on her face, and got physical by using a kendo stick to save Tiffany Stratton from a beatdown by the Irresistible Forces. Green is taking things up a notch tonight when she returns to the ring with a bedazzled face mask to team up with Stratto
