The first competitors in the tournament to crown the inaugural WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion have been announced for Raw.

WWE recently introduced the new Women’s United States Championship on SmackDown with a tournament currently underway to crown the inaugural champion. That came off the back of NXT introducing a Women’s North American Title earlier in 2024 with Kelani Jordan becoming the first champion by winning a six-way ladder match at Battleground.

Prior to the 25th of November edition of Raw, the red brand’s General Manager Adam Pearce took to the ring to unveil the latest title in the company – the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship. Pearce then revealed the belt which is the same in design as the men’s Intercontinental Title except with a white strap. It was noted a tournament will begin next week to determine the first champion and now the first match in that tournament has been announced.

Pearce also noted that the first match in the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Title tournament would see Dakota Kai, Shayna Baszler, and Katana Chance face off in a triple threat match.
