When Chelsea Green climbed that ladder in Minnesota a couple weeks ago to become the interim WWE Women’s champion, most of the wrestling fans I know were pretty excited about it.
WWE seemed to sense that…

… but then Green confirmed she suffered a broken orbital bone in her tag match on SmackDown last Friday (Aug. 7). But via Fightful Select, WrestleVotes reports that as of yesterday (Aug. 12) WWE planned to keep the Women’s belt on Chels while she’s out of action the next few weeks. What’s more, they’ll
keep her on television with the title and involved in storylines until cleared.
While WWE fans know why the company would do that, because they know how entertaining Green is — there’s another detail from Votes latest that probably explains why she’ll remain Women’s champ. Her SummerSlam title win apparently did big numbers on social media. Big enough they caught decision makers at WWE and parent company TKO’s attention, and impressed them.
And how couldn’t they be impressed by someone so beloved in her home country their lone NBA team has her unveil its 2026-2027 schedule…
… right?
