While Maxxine Dupri's Women's Intercontinental Championship win over Becky Lynch on WWE RAW has taken the wrestling world by storm, another new champion has been crowned in a moment that has flown under the radar. Laynie Luck became only the second-ever WWE Women's ID Champion at the latest Wrestling Open event.

Kylie Rae was the inaugural Women's ID champion, winning it in August this year, but vacated it less than two months later after going on maternity leave. Moreover, Rae left WWE altogether in October, leaving the title's future in doubt. Now, a new champion has been finally crowned in the form of Laynie Luck.

Luck had a herculean task ahead of her at the Wrestling Open event, as she first had to win a six-woman qualifier match to find a spot in the main event. The up-and-coming star would then go on to beat five other competitors in the show's headlining match, which was a Gauntlet-style Eliminator contest.

Not only did Laynie Luck win the Women's ID Championship, but she also secured a contract with the global juggernaut. Check it out below:

Kylie Rae addressed her WWE departure

Considering Rae had been a champion merely days earlier, fans were understandably surprised when her contract was not renewed in September.

Following the development, Kylie Rae took to her social media account to write that she was eternally grateful for the opportunity to work for the global juggernaut. She also confirmed that fans would see her back in the business.

"Today I share that my time with WWEID is coming to an end, as I was informed my contract will not be renewed. I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunities, memories, and people I met along the way. Thank you to everyone who supported me during this chapter—it truly means the world. As for the next chapter, I’m so ready to meet you! (Once I pop this baby out of course)," wrote Rae.

While Kylie Rae's career in the company fizzled out sooner than expected, one can only hope things work out for Laynie Luck.
