On the Tuesday before SummerSlam 2025, a decisive moment unfolded on WWE RAW as the Women’s Intercontinental Champion, Becky Lynch, imposed a severe condition on her upcoming match with Lyra Valkyria. The SummerSlam 2025 Women’s Title Stipulation now dictates that if Valkyria loses, she will be barred from ever challenging for the Women’s Intercontinental Title again, raising the stakes in their trilogy encounter.
Challenge Accepted With Even Tougher Terms
During a tense confrontation, Becky Lynch directly confronted 28-year-old Lyra Valkyria, emphasizing the uniqueness of their third match. The champion declared,
“if Valkyria loses, she can never challenge for the Women’s Intercontinental Title again.”
Valkyria responded by agreeing to the challenge but countered by insisting the match have no count-outs or disqualifications, ensuring a definitive winner will emerge without loopholes.
Complications in the Women’s Division
Meanwhile, Valkyria’s focus was divided as Bayley unexpectedly set up a Women’s Tag Team title match involving Valkyria, but this plan was thwarted. Despite Bayley’s effort, champions Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez retained their titles, aided in part by interference from Becky Lynch. This outcome prevents Valkyria from juggling dual title opportunities at SummerSlam and keeps the spotlight firmly on her imminent title clash.
Implications for Lyra Valkyria’s Career
With such a stipulation on the line, this match represents a pivotal point for Lyra Valkyria, whose future opportunities at the Women’s Intercontinental Title hinge on this result. The match’s no-disqualification nature promises intense action, while the consequences ensure it will be remembered as a defining moment in the women’s division at SummerSlam 2025.
