The WWE Women's Championship is a women's professional wrestling world championship created and promoted by the American promotion WWE, defended on the SmackDown brand division. It is one of two women's world titles for WWE's main roster, along with the Women's World Championship on Raw. The lineal champion is Rhea Ripley, who is in her second reign. She won the title by defeating previous champion Jade Cargill at WrestleMania 42 Night 2 on April 19, 2026. However, due to an injury Ripley incurred in May, an interim champion was crowned. The interim champion is Chelsea Green, who won the interim title by defeating Charlotte Flair, Jade Cargill, Lash Legend, and Tiffany Stratton in a five-way ladder match at SummerSlam Night 2 on August 2, 2026.
