Report on why the WWE women’s Intercontinental champion isn’t being crowned at the Netflix premiere of RAW
The final tournament match to determine the first WWE women’s Intercontinental champion has been scheduled for the January 13th 2024 edition of WWE RAW. Dakota Kai is set to face Lyra Valkyria.
During WrestleVotes Radio on Sportskeeda.com’s Backstage Pass Patreon, the following was said in regards to why the match isn’t taking place at the Netflix premiere of RAW…
“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 Netflix premiere would not do that justice.” (quote courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
