Earlier today, there was an announcement of an interim title ladder match at SummerSlam, but Rhea Ripley is retaining her championship. This author spoke to sources within WWE, who commented on the situation with Ripley and the reason that they had decided on an interim women’s title ladder match instead of having the title taken off the champion.

There was hope for a long time that Ripley would be back by SummerSlam, but in the end, with her injury, that was not possible, if they were going to also have her in a feud and give her a story heading back into the show. But the real reason that they won’t take the title off her is something else.

“They were hoping that Rhea Ripley would be back for the title match at SummerSlam but in the end it was not possible. Till the last possible moment, they were hoping, but there was no way that she would be back in enough time to set up a title match.”

There was also talk of Jade Cargill winning the title before SummerSlam in a tournament, after Rhea Ripley would be stripped of the title. In fact, a large number of people were in favor of taking the title off Ripley, giving a storyline for everyone. However, they decided not to do that and emulate UFC by creating an interim title storyline. This is also what happened with CM Punk back when he faced John Cena, leaving WWE in kayfabe when his “contract ran out”.

“There was talk of Jade winning the title directly before SummerSlam in a small tournament, and stripping Rhea of it, but that discussion ended before it began. Stripping Rhea Ripley was the plan for a long time, but they decided to go with something different. The real reason is that they they wanted to try a different outcome. The interim title solution is a lot like what the UFC does and that’s also where they got the idea for it, similar to when CM Punk “left” with the title after Money in the Bank back in the day.”

This is the first time in a long while that the company has gone for an interim champion out and out, and it seems that this could be another way to deal with injuries, if stars are able to come back sooner than later. For longer injuries, taking the title off them still is the plan.
