The WWE spotlight shifted Monday night as Becky Lynch was targeted by Bayley after her return to the ring, highlighting ongoing rivalries and shifting alliances on Raw. This confrontation unfolded just as Lynch’s celebrations, following her Women’s Intercontinental Championship victory at Money in the Bank, took an unexpected turn in front of the live audience.
Bayley’s Surprise Attack Halts Victory Celebration
On the June 9 episode of Raw, Becky Lynch entered the ring to celebrate her recent championship win, but her moment was short-lived. Bayley, making her first appearance since being sidelined prior to WrestleMania 41, launched a sudden attack on Lynch. The assault was joined by Lyra Valkyria, leaving Lynch scrambling to escape both competitors. Even as Lynch managed to evade serious harm, the situation underscored mounting tensions and unfinished business among the women’s division’s top stars.
Bayley’s Intentions Revealed on Social Media
Confirming her actions after the Raw ambush, Bayley addressed the incident on Twitter, making it clear that her rivalry with Becky Lynch is far from over. She publicly stated her plans to remain focused on Lynch, suggesting that further confrontations should be anticipated in the coming weeks.
History of Tension Between Lynch and Bayley
This clash is rooted in past events, as Lynch has acknowledged her role as the mysterious attacker who caused Bayley’s absence ahead of WrestleMania 41. At the time, Bayley was set to challenge for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship alongside Lyra Valkyria, but plans changed swiftly following the backstage incident. Lynch stepped in to partner with Valkyria instead, and the duo captured the championship gold on April 20, only to lose the titles the next night to Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez on Raw. Reports later clarified that Bayley’s removal from the lineup was a scripted decision rather than resulting from a real injury.
Possible Developments in the WWE Women’s Division
With Bayley’s return and explicit warning toward Becky Lynch, the stage is set for a heated rivalry, drawing attention to the ongoing power struggles within the WWE women’s roster. The involvement of other figures, including reigning and former champions such as Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, and Lyra Valkyria, raises the stakes for future championship matches and club alliances. WWE fans can expect the situation to evolve, contributing further intrigue and drama to Raw storylines.
