Becky Lynch Retains at SummerSlam After Bayley Intervenes

Becky Lynch retained her WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship against Lyra Valkyria in a brutal No Disqualification match at WWE SummerSlam 2025. The bout saw Lynch zip-tying Valkyria and using multiple weapons, intensifying their ongoing rivalry. Bayley made a surprise appearance, initially seeming to support Valkyria but inadvertently struck her with a chain-wrapped fist after Lynch dodged, allowing Lynch to win with a Man-Handle Slam. Due to a pre-match stipulation, Valkyria can no longer challenge for the title while Lynch is champion, effectively ending her title chances for now. Bayley's involvement has complicated the dynamics among all three, with Lynch now likely to target Bayley in future confrontations. This victory further cements Lynch’s status as a top WWE superstar.
