"I think Lyra [Valkyria] is the new kid on the block. She did a hell of a job in the Queen of the Ring tournament, but I think this was just the continuation of where we are going with our young and upcoming talent. So I think it's a good thread to pull. Dakota Kai is for sure a future Women's Intercontinental Champion. I think she's not just going to go away... I feel maybe this year sometime. Maybe even in the near future, I think she's a future Women's Intercontinental Champion," English said. [From 09:20 to 09:54]
