Becky Lynch is set to challenge Lyra Valkyria in a huge title match after betraying her on the RAW after WrestleMania 41 .
Becky Lynch made her thunderous return to WWE at WrestleMania 41 after a year of absence. She was Lyra Valkyria's replacement partner to face Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships. The duo won the titles at the show, but lost them back on the RAW after WrestleMania. Right after that, Lynch shocked everyone by attacking Valkyria, the woman who looked up to her as an idol.
The Man revealed herself to be the attacker of Lyra's original partner at WrestleMania 41, Bayley, and claimed that she would not have won at Mania without her. Following a heated exchange, Valkyria offered a WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship match to Lynch, which she accepted. With the match official for WWE Backlash, here are three reasons Becky Lynch could beat the champion for her title:
3. Set up a rubber match between the duo
Becky Lynch and Lyra Valkyria are no strangers to each other inside the squared circle. The duo collided against each other back at the 2023 NXT Halloween Havoc Week One. To the surprise of many, Valkyria dethroned Lynch and won the NXT Women's Championship. The Man could get her revenge by beating her for the IC title at WWE Backlash. This win could bring their score to 1-1 and possibly set up another blockbuster match between them at a later PLE.
2. Lyra Valkyria's run has been lackluster
Lyra Valkyria has been making waves ever since being called up to the main roster back in 2024. Despite making history by becoming the first-ever WWE Women's Intercontinental Champion, Valkyria's run has not garnered much attention. Therefore, WWE could decide to take the title off her and move in a new direction with Becky Lynch as the champion.
1. Becky Lynch's star power could elevate the legacy of the title
There is no denying that Becky Lynch is one of the biggest WWE superstars of the modern era. The Man is a marquee attraction and commands star power like no other. With the WWE Women's Intercontinental title relatively new in the landscape, the company can capitalize on this title match set for WWE Backlash. Lynch dethroning Lyra Valkyria for the title could bring major attention to the belt. Moreover, her run as the new champion could elevate its legacy and make it an important championship in WWE.
