WWE planning new title launch as RAW debuts on Netflix
WWE is set to expand its women’s division with the introduction of a Women’s Intercontinental Championship on Monday Night Raw. The new title is planned to coincide with Raw’s move to Netflix, according to PWInsiderElite.com.
The championship won’t debut until after the Women’s United States Championship tournament concludes and establishes its presence on SmackDown. The US title tournament, which marks a historic addition to WWE’s main roster, will crown its inaugural champion at Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 14.
This development follows WWE’s recent pattern of creating secondary championships for the women’s division, joining the Women’s North American Championship in NXT. The Women’s Intercontinental Championship will be exclusive to Raw, mirroring the structure of the men’s division.
Jade Cargill sidelined with injury after SmackDown attack
WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Jade Cargill will be absent from television following a brutal attack on SmackDown that saw her thrown through a car windshield. According to Fightful Select, the dramatic angle was orchestrated to write Cargill off TV due to an undisclosed injury.
The timing of her absence has led to changes in both the Women’s United States Championship tournament and the upcoming War Games match at Survivor Series. Cargill, who holds the tag titles with Bianca Belair, currently has no set timeline for her return.
