Adam Pearce made a huge announcement on the latest episode of WWE Raw. A mid-card title was unveiled for the Women's division on Raw in the form of the Intercontinental Championship. The title looked similar to the Men's IC title with a slight difference. The qualifier matches for the title are likely to be hard and will be announced in the upcoming weeks.
As soon as it was announced, the fans expressed their happiness. Fans in the arena approved it with a loud cheer. Many felt online on social media that it was a necessity rather than a forced addition. WWE has a stacked women's roster and it has lacked a title that could make them more relevant.
A few weeks ago, Nick Aldis announced the Women's United States mid-card Championship on Smackdown. Fans wondered when the same would be done with the IC title. They have the answer now and are satisfied with the announcement. Pearce claimed the women's division deserved something like it for the work they put in.
Potential candidates to win the inaugural Women's Intercontinental Championship
The Raw GM claimed that the qualifying matches for the title will be hard and the women will have to put their blood, sweat, and tears on the line to claim the title. Fans took to social media and gave their opinion on the stars who deserve to create history.
Many names have been put forth for the wrestlers who could be crowned the inaugural champions. The most popular of them seems to be Dakota Kai. The Damage Control star was out of action after the Pure Fusion Collective took her out. She is back and looks to be at her best.
In one of the interviews, she spoke about her capabilities of being a world champion. But for that to happen, she might have to prove herself as a mid-card champion. Along with her, the names of Shayna Baszler, Zoey Stark, Lyra Valkyria, Zelina Vega, Raquel Rodriguez, Nikki Cross, and Maxinne Dupri are also taken by the fans.
