Interim No More: Chelsea Green is Official WWE Women's Champion
12 Sep
Summary
- Rhea Ripley was stripped of the WWE Women's Championship due to injury.
- Chelsea Green won an interim title but is now the official champion.
- Green's interim title reign was complicated by her own injury.
Rhea Ripley has been officially stripped of her WWE Women's Championship. The wrestler was unable to defend the title due to an injury requiring surgery and subsequent rehabilitation. This led WWE to crown an interim champion, Chelsea Green, through a women's ladder match.
Green's tenure as interim champion was unexpectedly complicated when she sustained an orbital bone injury during a tag team match. Despite this setback, WWE incorporated her injury into a storyline, allowing her a recovery period. Upon her return, wearing a protective mask, Green is now recognized as the official WWE Women's Champion, with Ripley removed from the champions' page on the company's website.
With Chelsea Green now the sole titleholder, it is expected that Rhea Ripley will enter into a championship feud upon her return to competition. For the present moment, Green holds the undisputed WWE Women's Championship.
