A new WWE champion is finally being crowned, after it was forced to be vacated all of a sudden. The title is now going to go to a new star, with the company making an announcement.
Kylie Rae had to give up her WWE Women's ID Championship suddenly, less than two months after she won it. She became the new champion in a match on GCW: The ID Showcase, defeating Zara Zakher and Zayda Steel in a tournament final triple threat match to become the first-ever champion. Unfortunately, her reign with the title was not long, and after she became pregnant, she had to give it up and go on maternity leave. She ended up being cut, too.
Now, a new champion will be crowned, as announced by WWE. The company broke the news on social media, sharing that the winner would be crowned on November 17 at Wrestling Open RI. Whoever wins the title will be ID'd by the company as well, as the winner receives an immediate contract.
"BREAKING.... The new WWE ID Women's Champion will be crowned on Nov. 17th at @WrestlingOpenRI at Rhodes On Pawtuxet in Cranston, RI! Whoever wins the championship will be ID'd!!! More info to come!!!"
