Earlier during the action-packed night, a backstage segment featured Damage CTRL where Kai and Sky professed that they both hoped to face each other for the title, accepting the result graciously regardless of the winner. However, fate determined a different outcome. Now, Kai is set to contend singlehandedly in an attempt to clinch the coveted belt for Damage CTRL and claim her inaugural singles title in WWE.
The high-stakes finals of the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship tournament are slated to occur in two weeks’ time during the January 13, 2025 edition of RAW.
