There were a total of three title changes on SummerSlam
Sunday following no titles swapping hands the night before.
Baron Corbin was the first one to pick up some gold in the
second match of the night, defeating Trick Williams to
become the new WWE United States champion. This ended
Williams’ 105-day reign as champion and kickstarted Corbin’s
second reign with the title. Corbin only just recently
returned to WWE television after an absence of a few years.
Right after that match, a new Interim WWE Women’s champion
was crowned in the form of Chelsea Green. Green bested
Charlotte Flair, Jade Cargill, Lash Legend, and Tiffany
Stratton in a five-way ladder match to grab the big one.
It’s safe to say that the Minneapolis crowd approved of the
win as they exploded when Green grabbed the title!
And last and certainly not least, Chad Gable defeated Penta
when he made him tap to the ankle lock to become the new WWE
Intercontinental champion. It’s Gable’s first singles title
win in his 13-year career as WWE capitalizes on his recent
popularity from the El Grande Americano gimmick. Penta
lasted 153 days as champion.
