Becky Lynch added another title to her collection by winning the Women’s Intercontinental Championship at Bank Money. In the night’s third match, Lynch defeated Lyla Valkyria to become the second wrestler to hold this championship.
Lynch gained more than just the title at Bank Money. Per the match’s rules, Valkyria was required to raise Lynch’s hand in victory. While Valkyria honored this, tensions escalated when Lynch insisted Valkyria place the championship belt around her waist. Although Valkyria complied, she then launched an attack on the new champion.
The rivalry between Valkyria and Lynch began at Raw following WrestleMania 41, with Lynch attacking Valkyria and revealing a prior attack on Valkyria’s former WrestleMania partner, Bailey. Valkyria managed to hold her own at WWE Backlash, but Lynch’s post-match aggression showed their conflict was far from resolved. Following their encounter at Bank Money, the future direction of their feud remains uncertain.
Fan Take: This development matters to WWE fans as it highlights Becky Lynch’s continued dominance and elevates the prestige of the Women’s Intercontinental Championship. The intense rivalry between Lynch and Valkyria promises thrilling storylines that could shape the future of the women’s division in WWE.
