Fans hoping to see the finals of the WWE Womens Intercontinental Title Tournament during the Raw on Netflix debut will have to wait a little longer. WWE has officially moved the match between Dakota Kai and Lyra Valkyria to the January 13 episode of Raw.
The decision to shift the finals was revealed during this weeks Raw, and according to sources close to WrestleVotes Radio, the change wasnt a last-minute scramble but a strategic move. WWE wants the first Womens Intercontinental Champion to shine without being overshadowed by the loaded lineup for next weeks Netflix premiere.
We are told that WWE shifted the finals of the Womens Intercontinental Tournament off of the Netflix debut in order for the match to not get lost in the shuffle, shared WrestleVotes. 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.
This shakeup might delay the moment weve all been waiting for, but its clear WWE wants to make the Womens Intercontinental Title a massive deal. By giving Dakota Kai and Lyra Valkyria their own spotlight, fans can expect the finals to deliver an unforgettable clash.
