WWE Women’s Intercontinental title tournament finals set

The finals to crown the first-ever Women’s Intercontinental Champion are now set.

Lyra Valkyria and Dakota Kai advanced to the finals on Monday’s Raw after both won their semifinal matches. They will meet in two weeks on the January 13 edition of Raw, which moves to Netflix starting next week.

The first match in the semifinals saw Kai defeat Zoey Stark with a fireman’s carry and pele kick. In the second semifinal, Valkyria defeated Kai’s Damage CTRL teammate IYO SKY after countering a roll-up.

Kai was the first to advance out of the first round, defeating Katana Chance and Shayna Baszler. SKY ended up replacing Kairi Sane, who was attacked backstage by the Pure Fusion Collective, putting her out of action. SKY would go on to defeat Alba Fyre and Natalya to make it to the next round.

Prior to SKY’s match on Monday, Kai and SKY talked to one another backstage, hoping to meet each other in the finals of the tournament.

The first-ever Women’s United States Champion was crowned at Saturday Night’s Main Event earlier this month, with Chelsea Green becoming the inaugural champion.
