WWE RAW General Manager, Adam Pearce, recently revealed the mid-card title for the women’s division, the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship, which will be earned through a tournament starting next week. The WWE universe is eagerly waiting to see which female superstars will emerge victorious and claim the title. In this article, five female superstars from RAW who could win the inaugural Women’s Intercontinental Championship are discussed.
Among the contenders, Rhea Ripley stands out as a strong candidate. As a former WWE Women’s World Champion, Ripley has already proved her capabilities in the ring. After exhausting two of her title shots against Liv Morgan, Ripley might look to compete for the inaugural Women’s Intercontinental Title on RAW after Survivor Series: WarGames. Winning the title would add another laurel to her list, cementing her position as a dominant force in the women’s division.
Raquel Rodriguez, a member of The Judgment Day, is another potential winner. Despite having previously held the NXT Women’s Championship and the Women’s Tag Team Championship, Rodriguez hasn’t won a title in a long time. Winning the Women’s Intercontinental Championship would add more weightage to her position in the faction and establish her as a worthy opponent in the WWE universe.
Nikki Cross, a former RAW Women’s Champion and three-time Women’s Tag Team Champion, is another contender. Although she hasn’t competed in a match since August 2024, Cross has the skills and experience necessary to win the inaugural Women’s Intercontinental Title. As a member of Wyatt Sicks, Cross is locked in a battle with Scarlett, wife of Karrion Kross of The Final Testament.
Zelina Vega, a prominent babyface on the RAW women’s roster, is another strong contender. Vega has previously won the Women’s Tag Team Championship alongside Carmella, and has become increasingly popular since joining the LWO. Her win in the Women’s Intercontinental Championship tournament would be a testament to her skills and dedication.
Lastly, Dakota Kai, a member of Damage CTRL, is also vying for the title. Kai returned to the ring on November 11 after a three-month hiatus due to knee surgery. With her current form and skills, Kai has a good chance of winning the inaugural Women’s Intercontinental Championship, which would make her stable stronger in the company.
While Rhea Ripley, Raquel Rodriguez, Nikki Cross, Zelina Vega, and Dakota Kai are the top contenders, any of the women from RAW could potentially win the title. The upcoming Women’s Intercontinental Championship tournament is set to be a thrilling event, and the WWE universe is eagerly waiting to see which woman will emerge victorious and claim the inaugural title.
