After the excellent Netflix RAW Premiere, WWE organized the second episode of Monday Night RAW on Netflix this week with some more exciting segments and big surprises. The show witnessed the debut of Penta, an amazing Street Fight between Damian Priest and Finn Balor, and more exciting stuff.
The show also featured the amazing finale of the Women's Intercontinental Championship match between Dakota Kai and Lyra Valkyria. Much like the debut of Penta, the final of the mentioned tournament was scheduled for the Netflix RAW Premiere. But neither of these segments could be fit in the stacked card of the first episode. So both of the segments had to be move to the second episode.
Lyra Valkyria Creates History On RAW - Check Out The Exciting Details
The famous Mexican professional wrestler made his WWE debut against Chad Gable and he had been pretty impressive in his first match. The bigger attraction was the finale of the Women's Intercontinental Championship. The Irish professional wrestler Lyra Valkyria triumphed over Dakota Kai to become the first ever Women's Intercontinental Champion.

WWE recently introduced to mid card championships for the women's division, one for SmackDown and the other one for RAW. The Smackdown championship was introduced first and we got Chelsea Green as the inaugural WWE Women's United States champion. RAW introduced their version of the mid card title for the women's division a little later so that they could round their first champion at the Netflix RAW premiere.
Lyra Valkyria is a former NXT Women's Champion
But the irony is, the reason they delayed introducing their mid card championship of RAW could not be fulfilled ultimately and it had to be moved to the second episode. This iconic duo orchestrated an excellent match and ultimately Lyra Valkyria had been crowned as the first ever WWE Women's Intercontinental Champion.

The women's division of Monday Night RAW does not have many names in the main event segment, so it would be really easy to increase the competition for the Women's Intercontinental Championship and this would be the old school and best way to promote top stars for the future. The introduction of the mid card division among women was definitely an excellent idea.
