Chelsea Green made history at SummerSlam, climbing a ladder to grab the Interim WWE Women's Championship on Sunday night. She defeated four opponents — Charlotte Flair, Jade Cargill, Tiffany Stratton, and Lash Legend — in a chaotic five-way ladder match, according to 411mania and Wrestling Inc.
The win is the first world title of Green's WWE career. It marks a major milestone for a wrestler who spent years on the roster without breaking through to the top level, Wrestling Noticias reported.
Rhea Ripley's Injury Opened the Door
The match only happened because reigning Women's Champion Rhea Ripley could not compete. Ripley suffered a meniscus injury and was forced to give up her title defense at SummerSlam, according to Wrestling Inc. A meniscus is a piece of cartilage in the knee that cushions the joint.
WWE moved fast to fill the gap. Five women earned their spots through qualifying matches held on SmackDown in the days leading up to SummerSlam. The interim title was created specifically for the event, Wrestling Noticias noted.
Green Outlasts a Star-Studded Ladder Match
The five-way ladder match was packed with high-profile names. Charlotte Flair is a 14-time world champion. Jade Cargill and Tiffany Stratton are two of WWE's fastest-rising stars. Lash Legend has been building momentum on SmackDown. Green beat them all, 411mania reported.
Cageside Seats described the match as chaotic, with all five women taking big spots on and around the ladders. Green ultimately climbed to the top and pulled down the title belt to win. The crowd reaction was described as a major moment of the night.
Green's Long Road to Her First World Title
Chelsea Green has been with WWE for years but never held a world title before Sunday. She previously won the Women's United States Championship and the AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championship, Wrestling Noticias reported. Both are respected titles, but neither is a top-tier world championship.
The win caps a major rise for Green, who has reinvented herself in recent years as a comedic but competitive character. Fans have grown behind her, and Sunday's result rewarded that support in a big way.
SummerSlam Night Two Delivers for Fans
Green's win was one of the headline moments of SummerSlam Night Two. Yahoo Sports called it a night where "Triple H gives the people what they want," pointing to Green's title win as a crowd-pleasing result. SummerSlam is one of WWE's four biggest events of the year.
The interim title means Green holds the championship until Ripley recovers from her knee injury and can challenge for the belt. There is no set timeline for that return yet, but Green's reign begins immediately following her SummerSlam victory.
