Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch vs. Lyra Valkyria (No DQ Match)
Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch is set to take on Lyra Valkyria in a title rematch at SummerSlam.
Valkyria was the very first Superstar to hold the the new Women's Intercontinental Title. When she and Bayley were awarded an opportunity to challenge for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania, however, The Role Model was mysteriously taken out, an attack later revealed to be from Lynch herself.
The Man became Lyra's replacement partner at The Showcase of the Immortals and, although they won the Women's Tag Title, they lost it the following night and an irate Lynch suddenly turned on the Women's Intercontinental Champion.
Lynch went on to capture the Women’s Intercontinental Championship from Valkyria with a handful of tights at WWE Money in the Bank 2025. Then Bayley eventually returned and at WWE Evolution 2025, Lynch successfully defended the gold against both Bayley and Valkyria in a Triple Threat Match.
After overcoming Bayley in a No. 1 Contender's Match on Raw, Valkyria finally earned the right to to challenge Lynch for the Women's Intercontinental Title.
On the July 21 episode of Raw, Lynch and Valkyria upped the ante, agreeing to face each other in a No DQ Match, where Valkyria will never be able to challenge Lynch again should she lose.
