3 Reasons why Maxxine Dupri became new WWE Women's Intercontinental Champion

The latest episode of WWE Monday Night RAW, which took place at the world-famous Madison Square Garden, saw a massive underdog pull off an upset, beating a multi-time champion to capture the strap for the first time.

The underdog star in question is Maxxine Dupri, who, with the help of a returning AJ Lee's distraction, managed to execute her perfect game plan on the Man and pinned her clean to be crowned as the new Women's Intercontinental Champion.

In this listicle, we will examine three reasons why Dupri became the new Women's Champion, beating Becky Lynch:

#3. The Man has two major non-title feuds on the table

The Big Time Becks is undoubtedly one of the biggest female attractions on the current active roster; fans absolutely admire her work, especially as a heel.

That said, her losing the Women's Intercontinental Championship to Dupri came as a shock to the masses, but Lynch already has two rivalries on her back, which do not need a title to be in the mix, one her ongoing feud against AJ Lee and her tensions with referee Jessica Karr, who has been training her for her WWE in-ring debut.

Therefore, giving a new star a title would help the creatives put more women on the talent roster on notice, alongside Lynch having her own non-championship storyline, as fans would still tune in for her bouts without her carrying the title.

#2. Shock factor

The Stamford-based promotion under Triple H's creative umbrella is known for producing some surprising outcomes and title changes.

Tonight's episode of WWE Monday Night RAW at MSG was no less than a Premium Live Event, as we saw multiple jaw-dropping returns and bouts, and a new champion was crowned, adding an even more shocking element to the show.

#1. WWE is building new stars

The sports entertainment juggernaut has been investing its resources in building new superstars. Rising prospects such as Dominik Mysterio, Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, Stephanie Vaquer, and others have been getting tremendous push.

With a win over Lynch, Maxxine's name has been added to the list. She was getting a babyface reaction from the crowd ever since she entered the title picture against Becky, and the company might have seen something in the Alpha Academy faction member and put the chip on her shoulder.
