Chelsea Green retains WWE Women's title against Nia Jax on SmackDown
Summary

Chelsea Green successfully defended the WWE Women's Championship against Nia Jax on the September 11, 2026, episode of WWE SmackDown. The victory marks Green's first successful title defense after the promotion officially dropped the interim label from her championship status. Despite a physical performance from Jax, who dominated portions of the match and utilized her size advantage, Green secured the win with an Unprettier following interference from Tiffany Stratton. The match saw several disruptions, including involvement from Lash Legend, who attempted to assist Jax before being countered by Stratton. Green battled through multiple offensive maneuvers, including a Samoan Drop and several turnbuckle strikes, to maintain her hold on the title.
