On the WWE RAW episode preceding SummerSlam 2025, Lyra Valkyria experienced a notable slip during her promo segment as she prepared for her highly anticipated match against Becky Lynch. The Irish wrestler aimed to build momentum by declaring her intentions to become the first two-time Women’s Intercontinental Champion, wearing her signature Becky Stompers in the process. However, she mistakenly mentioned that she would return as champion “in two weeks,” despite the show airing exactly one week before the event.
Event Unfolds: Valkyria and Lynch Face-Off Intensifies
Despite the verbal slip, Valkyria quickly recovered and kept the segment on track. As Becky Lynch’s entrance theme played, indicating her arrival, Valkyria preemptively countered by turning and delivering a sliding dropkick to the Intercontinental Champion, who was waiting outside the ring armed with a kendo stick. The action escalated as Valkyria attacked Lynch with the weapon, though she later absorbed some punishment herself during the exchange.
Stakes Heighten Ahead of SummerSlam 2025 Match
The consequences of the upcoming match are significant. If Valkyria fails to win, she will lose the opportunity to challenge for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship again. Adding to the intensity, the match at SummerSlam 2025 will allow no disqualifications or count-outs, promising a hard-fought confrontation between the two rivals. Fans and analysts will be watching closely to see how this storyline unfolds in the weeks ahead.
