Becky Lynch is set to battle her former friend Lyra Valkyria for the Women's Intercontinental Championship at WWE Backlash 2025. However, she might face a ghost from her past due to her villainous actions this weekend.
Bayley suffered a backstage attack ahead of WrestleMania 41 Night One, after which Becky Lynch replaced her to challenge for the Women's Tag Team Championship alongside Lyra Valkyria on Night Two. The Irish duo won the championship, only to lose it on the following edition of WWE RAW. After the match, Becky shockingly turned heel and assaulted her then-partner, setting up a Women's Intercontinental Championship match for Backlash 2025.
While The Man may pick up a victory using heel tactics, there is a chance Lyra will bring backup. This backup can be Ronda Rousey if the stars align, considering a recent report from Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer.

However, it must be noted that this scenario is just speculation for now, and nothing is confirmed at this point.
