Becky Lynch shows horribly bruised back after brutal kendo stick attack on WWE RAW

Becky Lynch has shared a picture of her heavily bruised back after a brutal attack by Lyra Valkyria on tonight's episode of RAW. Valkyria beat Lynch up with a kendo stick and didn't hold back one bit during the attack.

Lynch and Valkyria are all set to battle it out in a No Disqualification, No Countout Last Chance match for the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship at SummerSlam 2025. The stipulation demands that if Lynch wins, Lyra won't be able to challenge for the Women's Intercontinental Championship as long as Lynch is holding the belt.

On RAW, Lyra Valkyria got hold of a kendo stick and launched a vicious attack on her SummerSlam opponent. Becky Lynch somehow managed to escape, but the damage was already done. Here's what Lynch wrote on Instagram following the attack:

"Totally unprovoked attack! LYRA HAS TOTALLY LOST IT. We cannot have this CRAZY BIRDLADY representing the intercontinental title! AND SHE WONT!"

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
