Chelsea Green’s first appearance after SummerSlam came with an interesting twist on the Aug. 7 edition of WWE SmackDown. While the celebration centered around her newly won championship, one notable detail quickly stood out. Moreover, it could have bigger implications moving forward. Green won the Interim WWE Women’s Championship in the SummerSlam ladder match after Rhea Ripley suffered a knee injury. However, during her entrance on SmackDown, WWE commentary and on-screen graphics introduced her simply as the WWE Women’s Champion, with no mention of the “Interim” designation. Adding to the message, Green also wore a shirt that boldly read “Permanent…

The language is still actively spoken there, while more than 50,000 Patagonians can claim Welsh ancestry.One of those is Jeremias James. James was born and raised in Trelew, a city founded in 1886 by Welsh settlers in the Chubut province. Its name translates from Welsh to “Town of Lewis” in honour of its founder, Lewis…
