• The Women’s Intercontinental Championship Tournament final, originally set for RAW’s Netflix debut episode on January 6, has been rescheduled to the January 13 episode of RAW.
The final will feature Dakota Kai vs. Lyra Valkyria to crown the inaugural champion.
According to WrestleVotes, the change was made to ensure the final receives proper focus, as WWE felt the match might be overshadowed by the high-profile Netflix premiere:
“We are told that WWE shifted the final of the Women’s Intercontinental Title Tournament off of the Netflix debut in order for the match to not get lost in the shuffle.
It seems like WWE wants to get this title off and running in a big way, and felt as though having it mixed in with a show the size of Netflix premiere would not do that justice.”
