Lyra Valkyria, former Women’s Intercontinental Champion, has intensified the tension ahead of the Lyra Valkyria Evolution 2 showdown by targeting a WWE legend on social media less than two weeks before the event. The 28-year-old wrestler’s recent confrontation escalated following a controversial match on WWE RAW last Monday.
Controversy Erupts After RAW Match Ends in Draw and Brawl
During RAW, Valkyria faced Bayley in a match to determine the number one contender for Becky Lynch‘s Women’s Intercontinental Title. The bout concluded with a rare double-pin, leading to a draw and sparking a fierce brawl between the two former partners. The fight required multiple referees and officials to intervene and restore order. This incident has left fans debating the outcome and what it means for the title picture moving forward.
Earlier, a fan shared a nostalgic image of Lyra and Bayley together, referencing their planned challenge for Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez’s WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania 41. Valkyria reposted this image and appeared to criticize Bayley with a pointed social media remark.
“One of us does,” Valyria tweeted.
The reference reflects past tensions after Becky Lynch replaced Bayley as Valkyria’s partner at WrestleMania 41. The Irish wrestler and Valkyria captured the Women’s Tag Team Championship but lost it back to The Judgment Day the following Monday on RAW. Lynch’s heel turn, including attacking Valkyria and revealing herself as the cause of Bayley’s injury, intensified the rivalry. Lynch also claimed the Women’s Intercontinental Title at Money in the Bank, with Bayley’s return marked by attacking Lynch on June 9 but avoiding Valkyria during her absence.
Lyra Valkyria Demands RAW GM Adam Pearce Overturn Match Outcome
In the aftermath of the contentious RAW match, Valkyria publicly challenged RAW General Manager Adam Pearce on social media, presenting evidence suggesting she had pinned Bayley for the full three-count before the double-pin was called. Valkyria insists that Pearce should reverse the decision in her favor, which could dramatically alter the championship landscape.
The RAW General Manager’s response remains pending, but speculation is growing that this situation could lead to a triple threat match for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship at Evolution 2. The unresolved conflict and Valkyria’s bold statements have heightened the stakes for the upcoming showdown, promising a heated confrontation that could redefine alliances and title reigns.
