The WWE Women’s Champion Chelsea Green was in action this week on SmackDown. The star teamed up with Tiffany Stratton in a tag team encounter against Fatal Influence. Green was celebrating her championship win this week on the blue brand. The star thanked the fans for supporting her. She also expressed gratitude to her friend Tiffany Stratton for supporting her throughout ups and downs. Tiffany came down to the ring but was interrupted by Fatal Influence. Jacy Jayne asked Stratton for a title shot. The Women’s United States Champion accepted the challenge on condition that Fatal Influence give the babyfaces a shot at the Women’s Tag Team Championships. This exchange led to an impromptu tag title match on SmackDown. The numbers game proved too much for Green and Stratton. Jacy Jayne hit the Rolling Encore on Green with the referee’s back turned, allowing Henley to drop Stratton. This gave Lainey Reid and Fallon Henley the chance to land the Fatal Flaw on Chelsea Green to win the match. Fans were outraged to see the new Women’s Champion getting pinned less than a week after winning the title. Some fans even speculated that it was Michael Hayes’ idea to have the champ pinned just days after winning the gold. “Your new undisputed WWE Women’s Champion… And they make her eat the pin lol #Smackdown” “IS MICHEAL HAYES BOOKING THIS SH*T !” “Triple H bro I need to speak with u cause wtf” “I bet this was Michael Hayes’s idea” “They couldnt let us have this…ur champ pinned already ffs” I bet this was Michael Hayes’s idea 🤦🏻♂️ https://t.co/03tgoU1yrg — Steven (@JasonStorm__) August 8, 2026 WWE made a clarification about Chelsea Green Chelsea Green made history at SummerSlam as she defeated four other women to become the interim WWE Women’s Champion.
