Wrestlemania 41: New Title And Stipulated Match Revealed For WWE PLE

The original belief was that Valkyria would be defending her women’s Intercontinental Title at Wrestlemania 41, possibly against Bayley. However, that match was preponed to this week’s Raw, with Valkyria retaining against the veteran. The two weren’t initially on the same page, but then they buried the hatchet.
