Becky Lynch is slated to go up against rising WWE star Lyra Valkyria for the Women's Intercontinental Championship at Backlash. According to veteran Vince Russo, the creative team may be booking the match to drastically damage Lyra's character, with Becky taking her down.
Lyra and Becky had briefly teamed up at WrestleMania 41 after Bayley was attacked backstage and was unable to perform at The Showcase of the Immortals. While the duo won the Tag Team Titles from Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, they lost them the following day on RAW. Becky attacked Valkyria afterward and turned heel. They confronted each other on the latest episode of RAW, and Valkyria challenged The Man to an IC Championship match. This led to a match being set up between her and Lyra for Backlash.

Speaking on Writing with Russo, Vince Russo was asked about his thoughts on who should win the match. According to the veteran, Becky winning would bury Lyra Valkyria's push.
"Again, do I think they will? Yes. Does that absolutely kill Bird Lady? Absolutely 1000% in my mind, yes. What gets her over is beating Becky Lynch. That's what gets her over. Again, Chris, I don't see them doing that." [2:37 onwards]
