Chelsea Green Becomes WWE Women’s Champion on SmackDown, Status Unclear
TL;DR
Chelsea Green was introduced on the Aug 7, 2026 edition of SmackDown as the new WWE Women’s Champion after previously holding the interim title, though it isn’t yet clear if she is the official champion as WWE’s site no longer lists Rhea Ripley as champion while Green remains labeled interim. Ripley’s injury and surgery prompted talk of a potential title vacate. Later on SmackDown, The Fatal Influence defeated Tiffany Stratton and Green, and Nia Jax closed the segment by raising the Women’s title, signaling ongoing storyline developments.
