Chelsea Green’s SummerSlam Title Win Gets Huge Backstage Reaction, Tyson Kidd Reveals

Chelsea Green delivered one of the biggest surprises at WWE SummerSlam 2026 by winning the Women’s Championship in a Five-Woman Ladder Match. Former WWE Superstar and current producer Tyson Kidd has now revealed the incredible backstage reaction to Green’s historic victory.

Chelsea Green Wins WWE Women’s Championship

At SummerSlam 2026, Chelsea Green defeated Tiffany Stratton, Charlotte Flair, Lash Legend and Jade Cargill in a dramatic Five-Woman Ladder Match to capture the WWE Women’s Championship.

The victory represented a major milestone for Green, who has become one of WWE’s most entertaining and recognizable personalities during her career.

Tyson Kidd Reveals Backstage Reaction

Speaking on Counted Out, Tyson Kidd, also known as TJ Wilson, praised WWE’s decision to put the championship on Green and explained why the finish created such a strong reaction.

Kidd pointed out that Green appeared to have an opportunity to win earlier in the match, only for Michin and B-Fab to interfere. That moment made fans believe Green had missed her chance to become champion.

However, when Green eventually reached the top of the ladder and captured the title, the stadium erupted. Kidd revealed that the reaction backstage in Gorilla was equally special.

“What a reaction. The reaction in the stadium was probably only matched by the reaction backstage in Gorilla. Everyone was very happy,” Kidd said.

Why Chelsea Green’s Victory Was Special

Green’s championship victory was built around an underdog-style story. She appeared to lose her opportunity before eventually overcoming the obstacles and reaching the championship at the top of the ladder.

The dramatic sequence made the eventual victory even more satisfying for fans. Green’s popularity with the WWE Universe also contributed to the huge celebration following her title win.

Chelsea Green Nearly Loses the Championship

Green’s championship reign was soon placed in jeopardy after she suffered an orbital bone injury on SmackDown.

The injury raised questions about whether WWE would have to vacate the Women’s Championship. However, SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis decided not to strip Green of the title.

Instead, Aldis gave Green 30 days to recover and receive medical clearance to return to competition. The decision allowed her to remain champion while she works toward a potential comeback.

What’s Next for Chelsea Green?

The major question now is whether Chelsea Green can recover within the 30-day period and return to defend her championship.

If she fails to receive clearance within the stipulated timeframe, WWE could once again face uncertainty surrounding the Women’s Championship. For now, Green remains the champion following one of the most memorable victories of her WWE career.
