Becky Lynch Retains Intercontinental Title No-DQ SummerSlam 2025

At WWE SummerSlam 2025, Becky Lynch retained her Women's Intercontinental Championship in a high-stakes no-countout, no-disqualification match against Lyra Valkyria, marking the final chapter of their intense feud. Valkyria, the inaugural champion who helped establish the title, faced a stipulation that barred her from future title challenges if she lost. The match featured brutal weapon use, including kendo sticks, a crowbar, and zip ties, with Lynch ultimately winning after Bayley's inadvertent interference. Lynch's victory solidifies her role as the leading figure of the Intercontinental division, a title she elevates as a 'workhorse championship' designed to provide opportunities within the women's roster. Valkyria had expressed deep animosity towards Lynch ahead of the match, emphasizing her motivation fueled by hatred and the desire to reclaim the championship. Meanwhile, Naomi successfully retained the Women’s World Championship in a triple threat match, and The Wyatt Sicks held onto the WWE Tag Team Championships after a chaotic six-team TLC match at the same event.
