Becky Lynch accuses former champion of injuring her; demands apology

Becky Lynch accused a former champion of trying to hurt her. She demanded an apology during RAW.

Lynch and Lyra Valkyria faced off for the Women's Intercontinental Championship at WWE Money in the Bank 2025. After The Man won the match, her opponent was required to raise her hand, as stipulated by the match's rules. However, Lynch demanded that Valkyria also place the title around her waist. After Lyra did as asked, she hit Lynch with a German suplex and followed it with the Nightwing.

Tonight on WWE RAW, Becky addressed her title win from Money in the Bank. She said that Lyra Valkyria ruined her championship celebration since she tried to injure her by raising her arm aggressively. She then claimed that she tried to extend an olive branch to Lyra by asking her to place the title around her waist, and instead, she was suplexed.

Lynch even went as far as to say that Lyra tried to "kill" her. She then called out the former Women's Intercontinental Champion and demanded she apologize to her and raise her hand properly.
