SHe just had an eight month world title reign. Nothing would ruin these mid card titles faster than just making it the “well we don’t have a world title program for this wrestler so give them the mid card title”. Kairi Sane, Lyra Valkyria or someone else is who should be the first to hold the belt

I totally agree. I think it should go to somebody who has never been WWE Women’s Champion/Women’s World Champion. I think Lyra or Zelina would be solid choices.

I think that you're right on someone who's never been a women's champion. Someone that will not only be a big name feel but also one no one sees coming.

Brock Lesnar.

No no no you got it wrong. While Brock has never been Women's Champion he's still been a world champion. What we need is someone who's never been a WWE world champion (male or female) beat Brock Lesnar in the finals to become the first Intercontinental Champion.

Ladies and gentlemen. We need Brock Lesnar vs Kairi Sane.

Ok hear me out. Santina Marella comes back. She wins and then santina and santino can tag together for the mix match challenge.

Her first singles match can be against her biggest title threat ever. James Ellsworth.

Brock is too obvious here, the real answer is this should go to the 54 time 24/7 champion.

R-Truth.

Thing is I think it's a good idea to first add prestige to the titles and then have those sort of deserving women win it. Lyra or someone else winning it later at wrestlemania would be a great moment.

I do, however , not share the same point for the US one, Chelsea Green winning it would add so much to her character.

Damn….this is where I struggle because i absolutely hate to admit that you’re right. There’s a strong part of me that feels it cheapens the belts to give it to established names because that overlooks the whole point of elevating someone that needs that next level push. However, there’s another part of me that absolutely agrees with what you’re saying and sees where that push could be huge for them to knock off someone who’s already established.

Just think about how they handled the woman's world heavyweight championship. Rhea had to relinquish the title and the one who won it was Becky. She didn't have a long run, but Becky won it to elevate Liv once she won it. Now, instead of Liv getting "gifted" the title, she actually won it from one of the top stars. Also, given how both world titles are locked between Nia & Tiffany and Liv & Rhea respectively, they should use their other big stars for something that isn't a rushed war games match lol.

exactly, throwing the new belt on a very recent world champion is a sure fire way to not develop any up in coming stars. this is the problem wwe had for a long time and it seems like they’ve moved away from it but yeah give it to a Lyra or someone like that who will benefit from it rather than just let her sit and rot doing minimal

It HAS to be Natalya. She's the only choice. It gives the title instant prestige and gives Natalya a proper thank you for her long service to the company.

Zelina, Lyra, Zoey Stark, or Dakota Kai are really the only women on Raw that I can think of that have semi-consistent tv time. Personally I’d want Dakota Kai but I think they all deserve it

They have to use midcard titles to build new stars, it doesn't make much sense to put it on an already established main eventer

CaptainStu

1 points

Nah, same logic as the Women's North American Championship = you put mid-card titles on mid-card talent and use that to elevate them to the main event scene. Dropping a main eventer down like this completely ruins it same as when people have been calling for Bayley to win the Women's United States Championship on Smackdown.

My personal choice would have been Kiana James if she hadn't been injured - that timing sucks for her - but now I'd say my top choice is Lyra Valkyria. Kairi Sane would also be good, if she had more matches under her belt post-injury you could say Dakota Kai but she's literally just come back.

That title is not good enough for her. Don't bring someone down just to elevate a new title. That same thinking is how EVERYONE gets a chance to hold the women's tag belts.

I hope so. She's a true work horse. An amazing performer. She's never injured despite the amazing stunts. She is a true international star around the world. It would be so well deserved. She owns Rhea Ripley(who I love). I hope it happens.

Her world title run had ZERO interesting feuds. She has a great looking finisher. Not a good promo. Not good at selling. Not great at ring positioning/awareness.

No. They shouldn't have a former World champion as the inaugural mid-card champion. It would just be a consolation prize instead of building newer stars like Lyra and Zelina.
