Women’s IC title rematch set for next WWE Raw
Becky Lynch and Maxxine Dupri will attempt to settle their rivalry in Belfast, Northern Ireland next week.
After trading the Women’s Intercontinental Championship back and forth, Lynch and Dupri will meet for the title once again on the January 19 edition of Raw. Lynch enters this matchup as champion following her recent victory over Dupri.
Back in November, Dupri notched the first title win of her career by defeating Lynch for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship. A distraction by AJ Lee played a part in that finish, which led to a storyline where Lynch spent weeks protesting her loss. Lynch then got her rematch last week and cheated to win by holding onto the ropes for leverage.
Dupri cut a promo on today’s Raw episode where she vowed to get revenge on Lynch by breaking her ankle next Monday.
This will be the sixth time Lynch and Dupri have faced each other on Raw since August 2025. Dupri won three of those matches, though two were by disqualification or countout.
Next week’s Raw has a special start time of 3 p.m. Eastern with the show happening on WWE’s ongoing European tour. SSE Arena in Belfast will be the venue. Along with this title match, WWE has confirmed that there will be a World Heavyweight Championship bout with Finn Balor challenging CM Punk.
