WWE has set a major match for the Friday, September 11, 2026 WWE SmackDown, which will be held live at Arena CDMX in Mexico City. Chelsea Green will defend the Interim WWE Women’s Championship against Nia Jax.
The announcement took place on the WWE SmackDown taped this Friday, August 28, 2026, at Rocket Arena in Cleveland, Ohio, a show that will not air until Friday, September 4, 2026.
During the show, The Irresistible Forces interrupted Chelsea Green and Nick Aldis, with Jax receiving the title opportunity in Mexico City shortly after.
On the same taped WWE SmackDown, Nia Jax faced Tiffany Stratton and won the match. Chelsea Green was also medically cleared during the segment with Aldis, fulfilling the requirement set by the General Manager so she could continue defending the championship.
Green won the Interim WWE Women’s Championship at SummerSlam on August 2, 2026, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, defeating Tiffany Stratton, Charlotte Flair, Jade Cargill and Lash Legend in a Ladder Match. After suffering an orbital fracture, Green was given a 30-day deadline by Nick Aldis on the Friday, August 14, 2026 WWE SmackDown to obtain medical clearance and defend the title.
