WWE is in the middle of a Women’s Intercontinental Championship Tournament for the Raw brand after SmackDown got the United States Title. The tournament started earlier this month with Dakota Kai, Shayna Baszler, Katana Chance, Zoey Stark, Raquel Rodriguez, Kayden Carter, Lyra Valkyria, Zelina Vega, Ivy Nile, Alba Fyre, Kairi Sane, and Natalya being involved.
After an attack by Pure Fusion Collective on Kairi Sane during this week’s show, she needed to be replaced in the tournament. WWE is giving the talent and crew off next week for Christmas, so the company taped next week’s episode of WWE Monday Night Raw after this week’s show.
At the tapings, IYO SKY took her place to go over Natalya and Alba Fyre. The other semifinal match looks to be Lyra Valkyria vs. Zoey Stark vs. Dakota Kai on the December 30th episode.
