Becky Lynch Makes History! WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion 2025
The most recent match and significant update in the history of the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship was held at Money in the Bank 2025. The event was held live on June 7, 2025, in Inglewood, California. The WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship is the latest secondary title for women in WWE, and it’s defended on the Raw brand. It was introduced right before the November 25, 2024, episode of Raw, which makes it an important development for WWE’s women’s division, as it didn’t have a secondary title on the main roster before this.
How the Championship Began
The first Women’s Intercontinental Champion was chosen through a tournament. The tournament began on December 2, 2024, and had 12 women from Raw. The first round had four triple-threat matches, and the winners moved on to the semifinals, which were singles matches. The two people who won the semifinals then competed in the final match on January 13, 2025.
List of the Participants:
- Dakota Kai
- Zoey Stark
- Shayna Baszler
- Lyra Valkyria
- Ivy Nile
- Kayden Carter
- Kairi Sane
- Katana Chance
- Natalya
- Raquel Rodiguez
- Alba Fyre
- Zelina Vega
There were many intense matches played among the players. It was Lyra Valkyria who defeated Dakota Kai in the final to become the first-ever champion of the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship during the inaugural tournament on January 13, 2025.

WWE and The Championship Belt
The Women’s Intercontinental Championship belt was designed nearly the same as the men’s version, except it is smaller, has a white strap, and “Heavyweight” is replaced with “Women’s.” Similar to other WWE championship titles, the side plates can be customised to feature the champion’s logo, but the standard design is the WWE logo placed over a blue globe.
Updates on the Recent WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship- July 2025
Becky Lynch is the current champion, whom she won at Money in the Bank on June 7, 2025. The match was a “Last Chance” match, so if Lynch had lost, she wouldn’t get another chance to challenge for the title while Valkyria was champion. But Lynch won, and as part of the match rules, Valkyria had to raise Lynch’s hand and officially recognise her as the better fighter.
Becky Lynch’s Victory
Becky Lynch’s victory is one of the most significant events in the women’s wrestling division this year. Lynch is one of WWE’s top and most successful female wrestlers, and her win brought even more attention to the new title. The “Last Chance” rule added more excitement and made the match feel important. After the match, Valkyria showed respect by raising Lynch’s hand, which was a meaningful moment for both wrestlers and the title.
Fan Reaction
For the most part, fans seem to be very positive about the new championship. Many feel it was a long time coming after decades of the men’s division having a secondary title. The matches for the new title seem competitive, engaging, and Becky Lynch won a very high-stakes match, hopefully making positive contributions to the future of the championship.
What’s Next for the Title?
Becky Lynch’s time as Women’s Intercontinental Champion is still fresh, and fans are excited to see who will step up to challenge her next. Since the title is new, each match and feud helps build its significance. People think that big names from Raw like Dakota Kai, Zoey Stark, or Shayna Baszler might be next to compete for the title, but WWE hasn’t officially said who Lynch’s next opponent will be as of early July 2025.
Looking Ahead
There has already been a lot of media coverage about the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship since Becky Lynch won it. Although Lynch is a well-known and well-liked actor, her title is probably going to generate even more attention. Future wrestlers will have a difficult time unseating her if they wish to do so. The WWE women’s divisions are receiving more attention, so fans can expect some thrilling matches and plots around the new title.
