Becky Lynch seems more "maniacal" in current feud; wrestling veteran feels WWE star is helping her (Exclusive)

Veteran wrestling journalist and Sportskeeda senior editor Bill Apter recently shared his thoughts on Becky Lynch and Lyra Valkyria. The two stars have been in a bitter rivalry on RAW.

Becky returned at WrestleMania to be a surprise partner for Valkyria. The two stars even won the Women's Tag Team Championship at the Show of Shows. However, the alliance faded away quickly as The Man turned on her partner after losing the titles the following night on RAW. Lyra then successfully defended the Women's Intercontinental Championship against Becky at Backlash.

This week on Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Time Machine with host Mac Davis, Bill explained that this rivalry with Becky Lynch has helped Lyra grow in the ring. He felt that the star now better understood the mental and physical aspects of performing inside the squared circle. The veteran journalist also noted that Lyra has helped push Lynch over as a bigger star in her heel persona than ever before.

"Well, this feud has matured Lyra Valkyria. She seems to be more mature in the ring, both physically and mentally. You can tell she's feeling a lot more assured than she used to be. She's coming across as very confident now. And she's helping turn Becky into more of a maniacal character than Becky has been. So I think it's good." [0:37 onwards]

Despite the loss at Backlash, Becky Lynch isn't done with Lyra. During an emotionally charged promo on RAW, Becky vowed to hold down the women's roster and make her climb to the top. It will be interesting to see if The Man can emerge victorious in the rematch at Money in the Bank.
