Becky Lynch is preparing to make a significant statement at WWE SummerSlam, scheduled to begin in about 24 hours at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The Irish wrestler, who is the current WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion, will defend her title in a high-stakes No Disqualification, No Countout Last Chance match against challenger Lyra Valkyria.
This event marks Lynch’s return to the NFL Giants’ home stadium, where she previously made history by winning a monumental WrestleMania 35 main event in 2019. On that occasion, she dethroned RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey and SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair in a Winner Takes All Triple Threat match lasting nearly 22 minutes. Now, as a seasoned competitor, Lynch aims to maintain her Women’s Intercontinental Championship against the rising contender Valkyria, who hopes to become a two-time titleholder.
Becky Lynch’s New Entrance Music Set to Debut
Fans have admired Becky Lynch’s current theme song, “Celtic Invasion” by CFO$, but many have requested a fresh track that captures her evolution as an 11-time champion. Lynch is poised to unveil a new entrance theme during her SummerSlam title defense. This update marks a notable shift in her presentation after years of using “Celtic Invasion,” which followed her earlier use of “Anything You Wanna Do” by Rich Battersby and Chris McCormack, as well as classic tracks from her UK indie wrestling days, including MC Hammer’s “U Cant Touch This.”
The new theme song has been crafted in collaboration with The Wonder Years, a pop-punk band originating from Pennsylvania in 2005. Lynch shared a glimpse of this partnership on her Instagram Stories, hinting at the significant update to her WWE persona. The band completed the track some time ago, and according to reports,
“the wheels have been in motion”
to introduce it on television.
This upcoming track will notably feature the first-ever full lyrical WWE theme for Lynch, incorporating elements of her iconic nickname with an intro titled “The Man Has Come Around.” Wrestling observers have noted that while “Celtic Invasion” has served her well for nearly a decade, the timing feels right for a new theme to coincide with this key SummerSlam appearance. Despite the periodic criticism directed at WWE’s production team Def Rebel, Lynch has managed to retain a strong and distinctive entrance presence.
SummerSlam Title Match Highlights and WWE Championship Outlook
At the SummerSlam event, Lynch will face Lyra Valkyria in a match with no disqualifications and no countouts, emphasizing the intensity and finality of the bout. If Lynch successfully defends her Women’s Intercontinental Championship, Valkyria will be barred from challenging her for the title as long as Lynch remains champion, raising the stakes considerably for both competitors.
Speculation has been growing around the possibility of a title change at SummerSlam. Recent betting odds have shifted to indicate a stronger chance for Valkyria to claim the championship again, which would make her the second to hold the Women’s Intercontinental title twice. This potential outcome contrasts with Lynch’s ongoing push as a veteran and mainstay within WWE, underscoring the tension and uncertainty surrounding the upcoming match.
The significance of this SummerSlam showdown goes beyond the immediate championship implications. It represents a moment where Lynch’s career intersects with a new generation of talent like Valkyria, highlighting WWE’s evolving women’s division. The debut of Lynch’s new theme song further symbolizes this transition, amplifying the anticipation for what unfolds in front of the massive 82,500 attendees at MetLife Stadium.
