It looks like Chelsea Green is about to be upgraded from
interim WWE Women’s champion to straight up WWE Women’s
champion!
The current champion, Rhea Ripley, wrote on X that she
underwent surgery, posting a photo of her right knee in a
brace.
“Life update. After just under 14 year in wrestling and
doing sports my entire life… It’s caught up to me,” she
wrote. “Surgery was never a first option for me, but it got
to the point that it was needed…”
Ripley, who won the WWE Women’s title at WrestleMania, last
wrestled in the beginning of June and has been out of action
ever since.
“I’ve survived, now it’s time to start thriving again so I
can get back to what I love to do! See you all down the
road,” she added.
WWE crowned an interim women’s champion at SummerSlam, with
Chelsea Green winning a five-way ladder match. Unlike other
WWE Superstars who were injured, Ripley was never stripped
off the title, but it looks like there will be no other
option following this news.
