After the public revelation of the WWE Women’s United States Championship, it was highly anticipated that WWE would inaugurate a corresponding midcard women’s title for the roaster of Monday Night Raw. However, the announcement seemed delayed, as several weeks passed by with no word from the wrestling franchise even as the championship tournament for the Women’s United States Championship proceeded to the second round with several wrestlers emerging as contenders.
But the wait is finally over. Official confirmation of the Women’s Intercontinental Championship is now at hand, intriguingly made public at the WWE Main Event, a surprising choice of platform.
Adam Pearce had the honor of presenting the much-awaited championship. Speaking at the unveiling, he emphasized that this championship would serve as a beacon of hard work for the women’s division. The unveiled belt is, unsurprisingly, a white-strapped version of the men’s Intercontinental Championship, maintaining the thematic continuity.
WrestleTalk tweeted about the momentous event:
“BREAKING – The WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship was announced by Adam Pearce before Raw went on the air tonight – @WrestleTalk_TV, November 26, 2024.”
