Chelsea Green has established an extraordinary resume in professional wrestling, unmatched by many on the WWE women’s roster. She became the first WWE women’s United States champion and claimed the WWE women’s tag team title. Her journey also includes triumphs like the Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) Knockouts Championship, the National Wrestling Alliance’s Women’s Invitational Cup, and Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide’s mixed tag team championship.
Green’s path has been marked by numerous challenges as she pursued her dream of becoming a WWE women’s champion. On Sunday night, her dream became a reality. In front of an ecstatic crowd at the U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, she overcame tough competition to secure the Interim WWE Women’s Championship. This victory at SummerSlam saw her outlast Lash Legend, Jade Cargill, Charlotte Flair, Tiffany Stratton, and overcome a tough battle with Michin and B-Fab.
The recognition of the interim title came as the official women’s champion, Rhea Ripley, was sidelined with an injury. Green’s achievement places her at the pinnacle of the SmackDown roster. Ripley’s anticipated return will lead to a match that decides the rightful champion, yet other formidable competitors are eager for a title shot. Notably, Cargill, Legend, and Flair remain strong contenders, while Stratton holds the current women’s U.S. championship. Upcoming talents like Jacy Jayne and Blake Monroe add to the competitive landscape.
Green now enjoys her first reign as champion. WWE fans and her peers look forward to her defending the title in the ever-competitive roster.
