RAW GM Adam Pearce introduced the Women’s Intercontinental Championship a few weeks ago

Following the introduction of the women’s United States championship and its exclusivity to the Friday Night SmackDown brand, it seemed evident WWE would ultimately develop a women’s Intercontinental championship as well. They announced as much only last week, starting a competition to determine the first champion.

The first match took place on this week’s Monday Night Raw in Everett, Washington, with Dakota Kai, Shayna Baszler and Katana Chance competing for a chance to advance. They had a great match — the triple threat match provided us with many entertaining back-and-forth clashes — before Kai eventually pinned Baszler after hitting her with her finisher, Chance hit a 450 splash.

WWE is preparing the card for the December 9 episode of WWE RAW. The WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship Tournament will continue with another first-round match, as announced in the December 2 edition. Zelina Vega will battle Lyra Valkyria and Ivy Nile.
