Imagine being at the peak of your wrestling career, only to have it all come crashing down due to an unexpected injury. That’s exactly what happened to WWE’s Ethan Page and Chelsea Green, who were dethroned as AAA Mixed Tag Team Champions in a twist of fate that left fans stunned. But here’s where it gets even more dramatic: it wasn’t just a loss—it was a perfect storm of bad luck, controversy, and high-stakes wrestling that unfolded in the ring.
On a recent edition of Lucha Libre AAA, the dynamic duo of Ethan Page and Chelsea Green were set to defend their titles against WWE NXT’s Lola Vice and AAA’s Mr. Iguana. But here’s where it gets controversial: Green, who had suffered a debilitating foot injury just days earlier during a WWE SmackDown match, was forced to sit out. Her absence left Page scrambling for a replacement, and La Hiedra stepped in as his partner for the night.
The match itself was a whirlwind of chaos and strategy. At one point, Page pulled Mr. Iguana off the ring apron, even seizing his iconic puppet, La Yesca, in a bold move. However, the tide turned when Vice shoved Hiedra into Page, sending him crashing to the floor. With Page momentarily out of the picture, Vice capitalized, delivering a spinning back kick to Hiedra and securing the pin for the win.
And this is the part most people miss: While Vice celebrated her first-ever pro wrestling title, and Iguana kicked off his second reign as AAA Mixed Tag Team Champion, Green took to social media to express her frustration. She shared images of her swollen, bruised ankle—strapped in a walking boot—and called out AAA for putting Page in such a precarious position. “The AUDACITY of @luchalibreaaa to throw @OfficialEGO into a match like that after I almost ended my career on Smackdown last night from a near fatal fall,” she wrote. “Ethan, we need to talk!!!”
This situation raises a thought-provoking question: How far should promotions go to protect their talent, especially when injuries are involved? Was AAA justified in proceeding with the match despite Green’s absence, or should they have postponed it? And what does this mean for Page and Green’s future as a tag team?
One thing’s for sure: this story is far from over. As fans continue to debate the ethics and outcomes of this match, it’s clear that wrestling is as much about drama outside the ring as it is inside. What’s your take? Do you think AAA made the right call, or should they have handled the situation differently? Let’s hear your thoughts in the comments!
