Becky Lynch is set to defend her championship tonight at SummerSlam, catching fans off guard with a bold change to her entrance and theme. This adjustment highlights the significance of her upcoming match, as she prepares to retain the Women’s Intercontinental title against a determined challenger.
Background of Lynch’s Rivalry with Lyra Valkyria
Becky Lynch made a return to action at WrestleMania 41, where she teamed with Lyra Valkyria to capture the Women’s Tag Team Championship. Their reign was short-lived, as they lost the titles the very next week on RAW. Following the loss, Lynch turned on Valkyria, initiating a heated feud marked by a brutal assault. This rivalry led to a clash at Backlash earlier this year, where Valkyria emerged victorious, winning the Women’s Intercontinental Championship.
The two competitors met again at Money in the Bank 2025. This time, Lynch reclaimed the Women’s Intercontinental Title, marking a shift in their intense competition. Since then, Valkyria has been determined to regain the title and, at SummerSlam, she faces her final opportunity to become the first-ever two-time Women’s Intercontinental Champion.
Anticipation Builds Ahead of the Title Match at SummerSlam
On Night Two of SummerSlam, Lyra Valkyria had already made her entrance, ready to face Becky Lynch. When Lynch’s music played, it was immediately clear that she had introduced a completely revamped entrance theme, signaling a fresh approach to her persona and title defense. This new presentation adds to the excitement as fans eagerly await the outcome of the match.
The unfolding contest will determine who leaves SummerSlam 2025 as the reigning Women’s Intercontinental Champion and could shape the future trajectory of both athletes.
