A significant new condition has been set for Becky Lynch’s upcoming WWE SummerSlam No DQ match, adding tension to an already intense rivalry. Scheduled for August at SummerSlam, this match will feature a high stakes stipulation where Lyra Valkyria risks losing any future opportunity to challenge Lynch for the Intercontinental Title.
Intensifying Rivalry Between Becky Lynch and Lyra Valkyria
The conflict between Becky Lynch and Lyra Valkyria has unfolded over several months, beginning with Lynch’s attack on Bayley that sidelined her at WrestleMania. Despite initially teaming up with Valkyria to capture the women’s tag team championship, Lynch soon turned on her partner after losing the belts, embracing a more villainous persona. Lynch then claimed the women’s Intercontinental Title by defeating Valkyria and is now poised to defend that title against her at SummerSlam.
New Match Stipulation Introduced on WWE RAW
During a recent WWE RAW episode, Becky Lynch proposed adding a special stipulation to their upcoming match. Lynch declared that if she wins, Valkyria will be barred from ever challenging her for the Intercontinental Title again as long as Lynch remains champion. In response, Valkyria insisted that the match be contested with no countouts or disqualifications and that a decisive winner must be determined. Lynch agreed, officially setting the terms for the No DQ, No Countout match at SummerSlam.

Implications for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship and SummerSlam
The stakes of this match have never been higher, with Valkyria facing the real possibility of losing all future title opportunities against Lynch. The No DQ and No Countout conditions ensure that the bout will be intensely physical and definitive, removing any chance of a match ending without a clear victor. As SummerSlam approaches—the WWE’s major summer event—the fallout from this clash may significantly shape the women’s Intercontinental division going forward.
Whether Becky Lynch will retain her title and continue to block Valkyria’s path remains uncertain, but the match is expected to be a turning point in their enduring feud at the biggest party of the summer.
