There have been updates regarding Becky Lynch’s opponent for WWE SummerSlam 2025, scheduled for August 2 and 3 at MetLife Stadium. Recently, Lynch won the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship in a triple threat match against Bayley and Laila Valkyria. On the following Monday’s Raw, Bayley and Valkyria competed in a series of Falls matches to determine who would face Lynch at SummerSlam. Valkyria emerged victorious, even though the original plan appeared to be a Lynch vs. Bayley matchup, according to the Wrestling Observer newsletter. This initial plan was from about three weeks ago, but the decision shifted before last Monday’s Raw, favoring a Lynch vs. Valkyria match instead. It remains unclear if Bayley will participate in SummerSlam, which would mean she might miss both WrestleMania and SummerSlam this year.
Fan Take: This development is significant for WWE fans as it shakes up the anticipated women’s division storyline heading into one of wrestling’s biggest events. Picking Valkyria as Lynch’s opponent could introduce fresh dynamics and exciting new rivalries, potentially boosting interest and competition within the sport.
