IYO SKY may be very close to getting a chance at the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship, currently held by Raquel Rodriguez.
The events of RAW on Monday, Oct. 19, in San Diego, California, suggested a future match between them.
On tonight’s show, SKY teamed up with WWE Women’s Champion Chelsea Green to face Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez, of The Judgment Day, in a tag team match.
The match was quite even, with Rodriguez dominating a good part of the action. In the final stretch, however, Green managed to neutralize Morgan and Perez outside the ring, hitting a crossbody on both. Meanwhile, SKY surprised Rodriguez with a roll-up, winning the match and pinning the champion.
As is traditional, whoever beats a champion cleanly customarily gets a chance at the title. In other words, it is expected that SKY will challenge for the Women’s Intercontinental Title soon.
Rodriguez won the title on July 27, when she defeated Sol Ruca. Since then, she has defended the title only one more time, against Ruca herself on the Aug. 28 Raw.
It is worth remembering that SKY already defeated Rodriguez before, in June, during the semifinals of the Queen of the Ring tournament.
