Things are heating up fast between Becky Lynch and Lyra Valkyria heading into SummerSlam, and now Lynch has shown fans just how real things got during RAW.
On the July 28 edition of WWE RAW, Lyra Valkyria snapped. After delivering a promo about becoming the first-ever two-time Women’s Intercontinental Champion, she ambushed Becky Lynch with a brutal kendo stick assault. The confrontation ended with Lynch escaping the ring looking visibly furious—but now we know just how painful that attack really was.
Becky Lynch took to Instagram after the incdient and dropped a photo of her back covered in deep red welts and bruising. Alongside the shot, Lynch wrote:
“Totally unprovoked attack! LYRA HAS TOTALLY LOST IT. We cannot have this CRAZY BIRDLADY representing the intercontinental title! AND SHE WON’T!”
The attack was triggered by events from the previous week, when Lynch cost Valkyria and Bayley the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles. On this week’s RAW, Valkyria made her intent crystal clear—she wants revenge and gold.
Standing alone in the ring, Valkyria told the crowd that SummerSlam was only days away and declared she was wearing her “Becky Stoppers.” She warned Lynch that she’d go to a place she’s never gone to before in order to reclaim the Intercontinental Championship. Before Lynch could respond, Valkyria struck first—dropping her with a mid-rope dropkick, snatching the kendo stick, and laying into Lynch without hesitation.
With emotions boiling and bodies bruised, this feud is far from over. The SummerSlam showdown is shaping up to be one of the most personal clashes on the card.
