Two superstars will get the opportunity to compete for the inaugural women’s Intercontinental Championship on WWE Raw in a few weeks. Following last night’s edition of the WWE flagship show, four female talents set to compete in the tournament semifinal have been decided.
In the opening contest of the December 23 episode that was already taped last week, IYO SKY (a replacement for the original participant Kairi Sane) defeated Natalya and Alba Fyre in a Triple Threat Match to advance to the next round of the Women’s Intercontinental Championship Tournament. Natalya was pinned by SKY after the latter delivered her pendant moonsault.
SKY will now face Lyra Valkyria on next week’s WWE Raw in a semifinal match. Valkyria defeated Ivy Nile and Zelina Vega in a Triple Threat Match to advance to the next round of the Women’s Intercontinental Championship Tournament, two weeks ago by pinning Nile.
