Popular WWE RAW Superstar makes bold championship prediction
The WWE RAW brand is just weeks away from entering the highly anticipated Netflix era. As officials prepare to air the flagship show on the streaming platform every Monday night, the superstars are training to chase championship gold and gearing up for more creative freedom. A fan favorite is close to a massive championship opportunity and has just predicted the future.
Katana Chance has moved closer to capturing the WWE Women's Speed Championship. The winner of the ongoing eight-woman tournament will earn the right to challenge inaugural Women's Speed Champion Candice LeRae. Zelina Vega defeated Chelsea Green to open the tournament, and then last week's Speed episode saw Natalya defeat B-Fab.
Katana defeated Alba Fyre on Speed earlier today, and now she will advance to the quarterfinals to face the winner of next Wednesday's match between Michin and Ivy Nile. The semi-finals will apparently take place in early January 2025 with Vega or Natalya vs. Chance or Michin or Nile. The winner of the #1 contender's tournament will then face LeRae for the title in early January.
Mighty Katana advanced to the WWE Speed quarterfinals by defeating The Hardcore Daredevil on the latest episode. Chance won the three-minute match with 35 seconds left on the clock. The former American Ninja Warrior competitor took to her Instagram Stories and slyly predicted the finals of the second-ever women's Speed tournament.
"One step closer.. [stopwatch emoji]," Katana Chance wrote with the photo.
Chance was eliminated from the tournament to crown the inaugural WWE Women's Intercontinental Champion on Monday's RAW. Dakota Kai won the near-eight-minute Triple Threat and also included Shayna Baszler.
Major matches set for next week's WWE RAW
World Wrestling Entertainment will invade the Intrust Bank Arena in Wichita, Kansas, following Monday for a live RAW. This will be the final red brand episode before Saturday Night's Main Event and another episode leading to the Netflix premiere.
Officials have announced one tournament match for RAW and a big faction battle. Below is the updated lineup:
- The Wyatt Sicks vs. The Miz and The Final Testament
- Women's Intercontinental Championship Tournament: Lyra Valkyria vs. Zelina Vega vs. Ivy Nile
- Rhea Ripley vs. Raquel Rodriguez
- Adam Pearce will address the next challengers to World Tag Team Champions Finn Balor and JD McDonagh
The winner of Valkyria vs. Vega vs. Nile will advance to the semi-finals against Dakota Kai, who defeated Shayna Baszler and Katana Chance.
An upcoming RAW will feature Zoey Stark vs. Raquel Rodriguez vs. Kayden Carter. The winner will go to the semi-finals to face the winner of Alba Fyre vs. Natalya vs. Kairi Sane. The finals will air at a date to be announced.
