Women’s Intercontinental title rematch set for first WWE Raw of 2026
A rematch for the Women’s Intercontinental title is set for the first Raw of the new year.
Monday’s show saw Becky Lynch return from her boycott and complained about losing the title when Maxxine Dupri interrupted. She said that she agreed with Sports Illustrated that Lynch is the greatest of all time, but bragged about beating Lynch three times. She agreed to give Lynch a rematch anytime, anyplace.
Dupri then told Lynch that in this moment, the former champion didn’t look like the greatest of all time, she looked like someone who was afraid her best years were behind her. Lynch proceeded to sucker-punch Dupri and started to leave, but then went in for the attack again. Dupri countered and went for an ankle lock, with Lynch tapping out.
Dupri won the Women’s Intercontinental title during the build for Survivor Series WarGames. Lynch was distracted by the returning AJ Lee, allowing Dupri to get to the top rope and launched off with a crossbody, covering Lynch to win her first title.
