Lyra Valkyria breaks silence to mock Becky Lynch following WWE Backlash

WWE Superstar Lyra Valkyria posted a social media message to mock Becky Lynch following the Backlash Premium Live Event. The two Irish-born stars competed in a championship match at the PLE last night in St. Louis.

Big Time Becks returned to WWE at WrestleMania to join forces with Lyra and defeat Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez to become the new WWE Women's Tag Team Champions. However, the members of The Judgment Day reclaimed the title the following Monday on RAW. The Man attacked her tag team partner after the bout.

Valkyria then challenged Becky Lynch for a singles match and put her Women's Intercontinental Championship on the line at Backlash. The two performers put forth a praiseworthy contest, which ended with the champion retaining the title with a roll-up pinfall. However, the former Women's World Champion was furious with the loss to the extent that she attacked her opponent.

Earlier today, Lyra took to her X/Twitter account to break her silence after the massive victory. She shared pictures from the match and mocked The Man with a short five-word message.

"I am not The Man 🪶," she wrote.
