IYO SKY will get a shot at singles gold as part of next week’s episode of WWE Monday Night Raw.
SKY will face WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion Raquel Rodriguez on the November 16 episode from the Lenovo Center in Raleigh, North Carolina.
The opportunity emerged for SKY after she scored a pinfall win over Rodriguez in tag action this week. Shortly after the result, Raw General Manager Adam Pearce confirmed the upcoming bout.
While SKY has held major singles belts twice on the WWE main roster, she has never won a midcard title in the company. That’ll change if she can end the 106-day run of Rodriguez, who dethroned Sol Ruca back in July to begin her run.
It also seems likely that we’ll soon see a showdown between WWE Intercontinental Champion Ethan Page and Rey Fenix. The luchador won a three-way #1 contenders match on Monday, beating Big Cass and ex-champ Chad Gable to secure the future opportunity. The title matchup has yet to be announced.
