A few weeks ago Monday Night Raw General Manager Adam Pearce officially revealed the new WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship. A tournament kicked off to crown a new champion and now it’s come down to Lyra Valkyria and Dakota Kai who will face off in the finals.
Originally the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship tournament finals were scheduled for the Raw premiere on Netflix, but it was recently confirmed that the match will take place on the January 13th episode of Raw instead.
During and episode of WrestleVotes Radio on Sportskeeda’s Backstage Pass it was noted that WWE made the decision to shift the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship tournament finals to a different show as the company didn’t want the match to get lost in the shuffle.
“We are told that WWE shifted the finals of the Women’s Intercontinental Tournament off of the Netflix debut in order for the match to not get lost in the shuffle.
It seems like WWE wants to get this title off and running in a big way and felt as though having it mixed in with a show the size of the Netflix premiere would not do that justice.”
Who are you hoping to see walk out with the gold, Dakota Kai or Lyra Valkyria? Sound off in the comments below.
