After weeks of speculation and anticipation, WWE has officially added a new midcard title for the women’s division on Monday Night RAW: the Women’s Intercontinental Championship. This announcement follows the recent introduction of the Women’s United States Championship on SmackDown, creating parity across WWE’s brands for their female Superstars.

While many expected this reveal to happen much sooner, especially with the Women’s U.S. Championship tournament already underway, WWE chose an unexpected moment to debut the new title. The announcement was made just before RAW went on the air, and a clip of the unveiling was shared online by wrestling media personality Stephanie Hypes. Fans later got to see the segment as part of the RAW broadcast, but the timing left many scratching their heads.

During the segment, Adam Pearce presented the new championship, explaining its significance as a “workhorse title” designed to highlight the depth and talent of RAW’s women’s roster. The belt itself is a sleek design, echoing the classic look of the men’s Intercontinental Championship but with a white strap to distinguish it as part of the women’s division.

This move marks another significant step in WWE’s continued efforts to elevate women’s wrestling and provide more opportunities for meaningful feuds and matches beyond the main titles. The Women’s Intercontinental Championship has the potential to showcase emerging talent, provide new storyline opportunities, and create a fresh platform for stars looking to break through to the next level.

As WWE expands its title landscape for women, the next question is: which Superstar will step up to claim the inaugural championship? With RAW’s loaded roster, the possibilities are endless, and fans are eager to see how this new championship shapes the future of the division.
