The Bird Flock rose to the absolute top of WWE when Lyra Valkyria hit her finishing move on Dakota Kai to capture the prestigious WWE Women’s Intercontinental Title. It stood out to be the ‘Match of the Night’ on the second edition of Monday Night RAW on Netflix in the finals of the tournament of the Inaugural WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion in the WWE Netflix era.
The WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship marks the second mid-card title on the main roster for the WWE Women’s Division after the Women’s US Title, which Chelsea Green won last month at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event. Now, with the competition brewing up in the WWE Netflix era on Monday Night RAW, the WWE Universe is wondering who can become Lyra’s first challenger for the IC Title.
Who Can Be Lyra Valkyria’s First Opponent After Winning Women’s IC Title in the WWE Netflix Era?
The WWE Women’s Division on Monday Night RAW has incredible depth and features some of the best and most underrated superstars in the business. The division did not get to highlight itself properly amidst the highly personal rivalry between Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley last year, but now, with the newly minted Women’s IC title, women on RAW have an incredible opportunity to show the world what they can do in the WWE Netflix era.
Lyra Valkyria successfully put away a very game and emotional Dakota Kai in the Women’s IC Title tournament finals. Now, Dakota Kai is a huge fan favorite, which was also obvious from the reaction that she got from the WWE Universe in her match against Valkyria on this week’s Monday Night RAW in the WWE Netflix era, which makes her a perfect candidate for Lyra’s Women’s IC Title.
While Dakota Kai sounds like a perfect candidate to be Lyra’s first challenger for her IC title, it appears that she might be the challenger on a grander stage like WrestleMania. Before Dakota gets her hands on Lyra, it is expected that a member of the Pure Fusion Collective, either Sonya Deville, Shayna Bazler, or Zoey Stark, will be the first challenger for her Women’s Intercontinental Championship.
