WWE crowns Women’s Intercontinental title number one contender

There is a new number one contender to the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship.

Dakota Kai was victorious over Ivy Nile on Monday’s WWE Raw on Netflix to earn a future Intercontinental title shot at current champion Lyra Valkyria. No date was announced for the title bout.

The title match will be a rematch of the finals to crown the inaugural Women’s Intercontinental Champion last month where Valkyria defeated Kai. That match took place on the January 13 Raw.

Valkyria has not defended the title since winning it, but took part in the women’s Royal Rumble match won by Charlotte Flair, and lost an Elimination Chamber qualifying match to Bayley on last week’s Raw in Nashville.

Kai has never held singles gold in WWE, but has twice held the WWE Women’s Tag Team titles. She also held the NXT Women’s Tag titles on two occasions. The NXT Women’s Tag titles were unified with the WWE Women’s Tag titles in June 2023.
