Overview
- Chelsea Green captured the Interim WWE Women’s Championship after besting Charlotte Flair, Jade Cargill, Tiffany Stratton and Lash Legend in a five‑way ladder match at SummerSlam on Sunday.
- WWE announced the interim title because champion Rhea Ripley was not medically cleared for SummerSlam and the company says the interim champion will face Ripley in a unification match when Ripley returns.
- The ladder match featured outside interference by Jade Cargill’s allies Michin and B‑Fab that nearly stopped Green from retrieving the belt before she climbed the ladder for the win.
- Green’s victory produced widespread praise from fellow wrestlers and a notable post‑show moment where Triple H hugged Green and she dedicated the win to producer Michael Hayes.
- Interim titles are rare in WWE so Green’s win both preserves Ripley’s reign and reshapes the women’s title picture, setting up a unification bout and renewed feuds to watch on SmackDown.
