WWE organized the grand finale of the tournament to crown the inaugural WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion last night on RAW. A total of 12 women participated in this tournament as Dakota Kai and Lyra Valkyria managed to reach the final.

This match was first scheduled for the Netflix RAW Premiere but it had to be moved since the card of the mentioned show was totally stacked and there was no place for this match. Last night, both women had an excellent battle for the ultimate price as Valkyria triumphed over Dakota Kai to become the inaugural WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion.

Valkyria was also the odds on favorite to win this tournament and she definitely has all the potentials to be an excellent champion. The Irish professional wrestler spoke about her epic triumph on Monday Night RAW in a digital exclusive after the show where she discussed her big win. Here is what she had to say;

"I did it. I did that. I got drafted to Monday Night Raw, I worked my way through an entire tournament of women. I am the first-ever [Women's Intercontinental Champion]. I have dreamed about making a moment like this, carving out my own little piece of history. There's only ever one first-ever. My name is now in the history books. I'm the Women’s Intercontinental Champion," Valkyria stated.

"Being the Intercontinental Champion has always meant that you are the best when it comes to what happens between those ropes. That's what I want this championship to mean, being the absolute best when it comes to the ring. That means that I am shaping what that looks like, what it looks like for the women’s division as the Women’s Intercontinental Champion.

"So what that means is I'm prepared to take on absolutely anyone. To be the champion at a time when, and I say this from the bottom of my heart, the women's division right now is the best that it has ever been, ever, so I'm prepared for any challenger, anytime. It's Rumble season, it's 'Mania season. People are as hungry as they've ever been. I'm ready for anything. I'm ready to start my reign as the Women's Intercontinental Champion." Concluded Lyra Valkyria.

There had been a constant demand of a mid card championship in the women’s division. Triple H granted the wish of the fans by introducing not one but two mid card titles for the women’s division, one for each of their main roster brands.

This is the first time WWE has introduced mid card titles for the women’s division in the main roster and we definitely hope this experiment will be a huge success since it will definitely boost the production for the top stars in the main event segment, much like the men’s versions of the mid card titles have always done.
