Ripley Injury Triggers Interim Women’s Title Ladder Match at SummerSlam

Rhea Ripley’s torn meniscus sidelined her from a planned SummerSlam title defense, prompting WWE to create an interim women’s championship and book a five-woman ladder match. Jade Cargill and Tiffany Stratton have qualified, with Charlotte Flair or Nia Jax in the mix for the final spot. The original plans reportedly included Flair vs. Cargill and Stratton defending the US title in Minnesota, and Blake Monroe was floated as a possible opponent for Monroe. Fans are invited to weigh in on whether a five-woman ladder match is a suitable SummerSlam replacement.
