Chelsea Green Climbs Ladder to Win Interim WWE Women’s Title at SummerSlam

Her surprise victory has intensified debate over the interim designation and set up a likely unification with an injured champion.

Overview

  • Green won the five-way ladder match at SummerSlam on Sunday by retrieving the belt and was crowned interim WWE Women’s Champion.
  • She publicly defended WWE producer Michael Hayes after a Netflix clip showed him questioning her role and said the show’s editing cropped his full comments.
  • Fan-shot footage and peers including Charlotte Flair were shown applauding Green after her win, and several wrestling veterans sent congratulatory messages.
  • Rhea Ripley is recovering from meniscus surgery so a unification match is expected once Ripley is medically cleared.
  • Green has asked AAA about defending the interim title there and WWE’s decision on whether to treat the belt as temporary or fully legitimate remains unresolved.
