Charlotte Flair Reveals 'Main Focus' In Women's Title Ladder Match At WWE SummerSlam

WWE is set to crown an interim Women's Champion at SummerSlam. Rhea Ripley has been sidelined with an injury and with the timetable of her return unknown, it was decided a ladder match to crown an interim champion would take place. A series of qualifying matches have determined the entrants with Charlotte Flair, Jade Cargill, Tiffany Stratton, and Chelsea Green advancing to the ladder match. A final match is scheduled for SmackDown between Giulia and Lash Legend. The ladder match is scheduled for Night Two of "The Biggest Party of the Summer".

During an interview with "Busted Open," Flair spoke about the match. She pointed out that, since returning from injury a couple years ago, she has not been on Night Two of a major PLE. While this match will crown a new interim Women's champion, Flair has another goal in mind.

"My main focus is being the biggest obstacle for Jade," she declared. "So Jade's not getting that title [if] she has to go through me. She did injure Lexi." 

Flair indicated that she's excited for the opportunity, but she isn't sure that winning would count as a world title reign with regard to her growing record. She noted that if she's interim champion when Ripley returns, she'll want to face her to see who the real champion is. When host Dave LaGreca pointed out that Flair might be too focused on Cargill rather than the title, Flair pushed back.

"I'm not blinded," she said. "I spent years chasing titles. Now the title chases me."
