Chelsea Green won a five-woman ladder match on Night 2 of SummerSlam on Sunday to become the interim WWE women's champion. Green got the better of four of the top women's Superstars that SmackDown has to offer, outlasting Flair, Cargill, Stratton and Lash Legend. The ladder match was announced when it was determined that WWE women's champion Rhea Ripley would not be cleared from a knee injury in time to compete at SummerSlam. Charlotte attacked Jade during her qualifying match against Nia Jax, which allowed Cargill to qualify for the ladder match. By virtue of her win in the ladder match on Sunday, Green shocked the WWE Universe and got her first taste of WWE Women's Championship gold.
