Chelsea Green Wins Interim WWE Women's Championship at SummerSlam

Canadian wrestler Chelsea Green captured the interim WWE Women’s Championship on August 2, 2026, during the second night of SummerSlam in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She emerged victorious in a five‑competitor ladder match against Tiffany Stratton, Jade Cargill, Charlotte Flair and Lash Legend, becoming the last wrestler able to retrieve the belt.

The interim title was created because the reigning champion, Rhea Ripley, was not medically cleared to defend her championship at the event. Green, a 35‑year‑old former Canadian independent‑circuit star who trained under Lance Storm, thanked her 1.4 million Instagram followers, noting the injuries she had overcome over a 13‑year career. SummerSlam attracted roughly 70,000 fans across its two‑night run, and the interim belt is expected to be unified with Ripley’s title when she returns.
