WWE appears to be preparing a significant change for Lyra Valkyria‘s character on RAW, involving her tag team partner as well. Despite efforts over recent months to rebuild their teamwork after disagreements last summer, the duo has not secured a victory for the Women’s Tag Team Championship and has not won a match on WWE television since the October 13, 2025, episode of RAW. Their attempts in singles competition have also fallen short, with neither qualifying for the women’s Elimination Chamber match. Reports from Bodyslam.net suggest that WWE may soon turn Lyra Valkyria into a more aggressive persona ahead of WrestleMania 42, marking a departure from her current babyface role, which highlights resilience and respect.
The potential storyline could center on Valkyria and Bayley growing frustrated about being overlooked in their chase for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship, leading to this character evolution. However, precise timing for when this change might begin remains unclear.
Lyra Valkyria and Bayley Challenge RAW Authority
In recent days, Lyra Valkyria and Bayley publicly expressed their irritation toward RAW General Manager Adam Pearce via social media. Bayley, known as the Role Model, questioned why Nia Jax and Lash Legend were granted another opportunity to challenge for the tag team titles, while she and Lyra have yet to receive a shot at the reigning champions, Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY.
“Soooooooooooooooo Nia and Lash get ANOTHER tag title shot…… Andddddddddd Lyra and I are yet to have ONE against RHIYO………. @ScrapDaddyAP ARE YOU DOING YOUR JOB OR DO I HAVE TO DO IT FOR YOU?!?!?!?!!!!!!!” – Bayley, WWE Tag Team Wrestler
Lyra responded directly to Bayley’s post, demanding answers from Pearce about why they were being ignored in the title picture.
Implications of the Planned Changes for Lyra Valkyria
The shift toward a more assertive character for Lyra Valkyria could mark a turning point in her WWE career, potentially altering her trajectory on RAW. This change may reignite interest in her as a singles competitor and provide new storylines as WrestleMania 42 approaches. Additionally, her vocal frustration alongside Bayley highlights growing tension within the women’s tag team division, suggesting WWE could soon shake up matches and rivalries to reflect these developments. Fans and viewers should watch carefully for how both Valkyria and Pearce respond in upcoming episodes, which will likely shape the future of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship scene.
