WWE is in the middle of a Women’s Intercontinental Championship Tournament for the Raw brand after SmackDown got the United States Title.
It all began on the December 2 episode of Raw with an announcement of 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.
Kai and Valkyria have already advanced. The other matches left are Zoey Stark vs. Raquel Rodriguez vs. Kayden Carter and Alba Fyre vs. Kairi Sane vs. Natalya. The company hasn’t announced when the tournament finals will take place.
During the latest episode of WrestleVotes Radio on SportsKeeda’s Backstage Pass Patreon, it was noted that the Raw debut episode on Netflix on January 6th will host the tournament finals from Los Angeles.
“Sources state the WWE is currently planning on having the finals of the Women’s Intercontinental Championship tournament take place on the Raw Netflix debut show, we’re told. WWE will look to have at least three advertised matches for that show, with one of them being for this Women’s Intercontinental Championship. The semifinals will take place in Houston the week before, with the finals in Los Angeles.”
