Chelsea Green Captures Interim WWE Women’s Championship at SummerSlam
Chelsea Green won the interim WWE Women’s Championship in a five‑woman ladder match on Night 2 of SummerSlam 2026. The match featured Green, Jade Cargill, Charlotte Flair, Tiffany Stratton and Lash Legend. Interference from B‑Fab and Michin delayed Green’s ascent, while Cargill briefly held the belt before Green secured it.
The interim title was created because reigning champion Rhea Ripley was sidelined with a knee injury. WWE announced that the interim champion would face Ripley in a unification match once she is medically cleared. Qualifying matches on SmackDown earlier in the year determined the five competitors.
This victory marks Green’s first world‑title reign in WWE, adding to her two United States Women’s Championship reigns and positioning her for a future showdown with Ripley.
