Women’s Intercontinental title match added to WWE Clash in Italy
A match for the Women’s Intercontinental title is set for Clash in Italy.
Becky Lynch tried to be smart during her non-title match against Sol Ruca during Saturday Night’s Main Event, throwing referee Jessika Carr into Sol Ruca’s way as the new Raw star laid her out with the Sol snatcher. Once the referee recovered, she called for the bell, disqualifying Lynch. The enraged champion then jumped Ruca, laying her out with multiple manhandle slams.
Backstage, Nick Alids informed Lynch that he had talked to Raw GM Adam Pearce and as a result of her actions, an Intercontinental title match had been added to next Sunday’s Clash in Italy, which will take place in Turin.
Ruca has yet to score a pinfall victory since getting called up to the main roster, losing to the likes of Liv Morgan and IYO SKY. After Lynch dismissed Ruca on this past Monday’s Raw, the former NXT star went to the ring and called out Lynch. The two eventually agreed to a match for SNME, but Lynch objected to putting the Intercontinental title on the line.
