Tonight’s (July 24) episode of SmackDown featured two more qualifying matches for the 5-way women’s ladder match at SummerSlam, where the winner becomes the interim WWE women’s champion. First up was Chelsea Green vs. Kiana James. Considering that Kiana just did the job for Giulia on this week’s episode of Main Event, it was pretty obvious who was winning this one. Green put James away with her finisher for a straightforward victory. 🫡 🫡 🫡 CHELSEA GREEN is headed to SummerSlam! pic.twitter.com/3HditI6CFe — WWE (@WWE) July 25, 2026 The other qualifying bout was Charlotte Flair versus Nia Jax. Do you remember last week when Flair was a giant dumbass for getting Jax disqualified in a qualifier against Jade Cargill? It was Jade’s turn to be the dumbass this time, as The Baddies interfered to attack Flair and help her win by DQ. Winner by DQ…CHARLOTTE FLAIR! 🙌 But it's @Jade_Cargill who gets the last laugh… pic.twitter.com/tQ1bZ1ofJh — WWE (@WWE) July 25, 2026 It guess it’s bad luck for Nia that she is surrounded by so many dumbasses in WWE. If she is allowed to compete in the final qualifying match for getting screwed over yet again, she should probably ask her partner Lash Legend to run in and attack her with the fingerpoke of doom. That way she can qualify for SummerSlam by DQ too. Here is the updated card for SummerSlam: WWE Championship: CM Punk (c) vs. Cody Rhodes World Heavyweight Championship: Roman Reigns (c) vs. Seth Rollins Hell in a Cell: Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi Intercontinental Championship: Penta (c) vs. Chad Gable Women’s Interim Championship: Jade Cargill vs. Tiffany Stratton vs. Chelsea Green vs. Charlotte Flair vs. TBD Women’s World Championship: Liv Morgan (c) vs. IYO SKY GUNTHER vs. Nick Aldis Danhausen vs. Dominik Mysterio LA Knight & Solo Sikoa & Royce Keys vs. The Bloodline Paige & Bella Twins vs. Fatal Influence What do you think of Flair and Cargill each scoring disqualifications wins over Nia Jax to qualify for the women’s ladder match at SummerSlam? Does Chelsea Green have a real shot to win the interim championship? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below, Cagesiders.

Rhea Ripley is still out injured but she’s a big enough star that WWE didn’t want her to vacate the women’s championship. Instead, they’ll go the UFC route and create an interim title for the roster to fight over while the real champ gets healthy. It creates an obvious match-up when she returns, they unify the titles, you know how it goes. SummerSlam is where an interim champion will be crowned, where five women will have to climb a ladder to grab the title hanging suspended above the ring. Qualifiers have been held to determine the five, and four of them are already set: Tiffany Stratton, Jade Cargill, Chelsea Green, and Charlotte Flair. Two of those qualifiers featured Nia Jax losing, mostly because she’s been getting screwed over, so he naturally campaigned to be a part of the final qualifier next week. Nope! Instead, her partner, Lash Legend, gets the spot opposite former United States Champion Giulia: EXCLUSIVE: After complaining to @ScrapDaddyAP, Nia Jax learns that the final #SummerSlam Qualifying Match will be between @giulia0221g and @lashlegendwwe. pic.twitter.com/Pw0Ao448WN — WWE (@WWE) July 25, 2026 Jax immediately threw her support behind Legend, saying “that’s fine, because you’re going to bring it home for us and I have all confidence in you to do that.” We’ll see next week.
