If Valkyria won, then Lynch wouldn\u2019t challenge for the title again. But if Lynch won, Valkyria would have to raise her hand and recognize her as champion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That is what happened at Halloween Havoc in 2023, when Valkyria took the NXT Championship off of Lynch. In the end, Lynch won, and Valkyria lifted her hand. However, a controversial ending and some humiliation cast a dark cloud over the result.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Valkyria ended up beating up Lynch in frustration after the match was over. It\u2019s clear that a rubber match is on the horizon. With multiple events coming up in the next two months, there are reasons why it could happen at all of them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No matter when it happens, the third Lynch vs. Valkyria match will be exciting to watch.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Lyra Valkyria vs. Becky Lynch | Women&#039;s Intercontinental Title Match: Money in the Bank 2025\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BNbhPdWpNyw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Night of Champions is Right Around the Corner<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In just two weeks, WWE will travel to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for Night of Champions. At the event, all the championship titles in WWE will be defended. That includes the Women\u2019s Intercontinental Championship.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lynch will obviously be celebrating at this week\u2019s Monday Night Raw, gloating about her victory. Valkyria will probably be close by, waiting for the right time to attack Lynch for her behavior on Saturday. Given the short time span between Money in the Bank and Night of Champions, it would make sense if Valkyria wants her rematch at the closest PLE possible date-wise.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She was not happy about her loss or Lynch\u2019s antics after the match. If she hears what the commentators said about the ending, that definitely gives her justification to get her title back. Night of Champions makes sense for the PLE where the rubber match is held.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Evolution is the Perfect PLE for Becky Lynch vs. Lyra Valkyria<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WWE Evolution made history as the first all-female PLE in 2018, showcasing that the women of WWE are very athletic and talented. On July 13, the second Evolution event will be held at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. Given that it\u2019s five weeks away, the build will start to take place sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s still a lot of hatred between those two women, so the rubber match at Evolution would be a good decision. With this being the first Evolution in seven years, WWE will want to fill the card with matches that could be very memorable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Given how intense this feud has been, it\u2019s only fitting that a potential conclusion should happen at such a high-profile event. This feud has really elevated Valkyria as a wrestler, so having the championship match at an all-female PLE will definitely showcase her and Lynch\u2019s abilities.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>SummerSlam\u2019s Two-Night Format is Enticing<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This year\u2019s SummerSlam will be different than any other year for a huge reason. It will be held over two nights on August 2 and 3 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Instead of the typical seven or eight-match cards, the scheduling allows for 14 or 15 matches, which means that more championships will be defended.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With definite surprises coming for Evolution, and with a WWE Draft supposedly happening soon, someone else could challenge Valkyria for the Women\u2019s Intercontinental Championship. If she ends up winning, Lynch could re-ignite the feud in time for the largest SummerSlam in WWE history. Having the decisive match happen there could immortalize the Women\u2019s Intercontinental Championship, no matter who wins the title.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is clear that WWE is gearing up for a historic weekend. Having an intense matchup be part of that weekend will make it more special for everyone.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Any PLE Will Benefit from Becky Lynch vs. Lyra Valkyria<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before returning at WrestleMania 41, Lynch took a nearly year-long hiatus from WWE. Valkyria was the inaugural Women\u2019s Intercontinental Champion, crowned on the January 13, 2025 episode of Monday Night Raw. Both women came into the battle with a lot to prove.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lynch wanted to prove that she can shake the ring rust off. Valkyria wanted to defend her championship to the best of her ability. It\u2019s safe to say they\u2019ve definitely met their goals.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But, after what happened on Saturday, their feud isn\u2019t over. Lynch might think she\u2019s done, but Valkyria is furious over the humiliation she suffered.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With three PLEs happening in the next two months, any of them could be the site of the third Lynch vs. Valkyria match for the WWE Women\u2019s Intercontinental Championship. With tensions between them at an all-time high, their next match will definitely be exciting for everyone.<\/p>\n<p><strong><b>More From LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><i>Header photo \u2013 WWE \u2013 Stay tuned to the\u00a0<\/i><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\"><em><u><i>Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/i><\/u><\/em><\/a><em><i> for more on Becky Lynch, Lyra Valkyria, WWE, and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
