00:01The following contest scheduled for one fall is for the Women's Intercontinental Championship!
00:16Introducing first, the challenger from Dublin, Ireland, the man, Becky Lynch!
00:36And look at this, wasting little time, Lyra Valkyria ticked off at Becky and taking the fight to the man in this matchup!
00:43So it's bad blood between these two, of course Lyra Valkyria, cost Becky Lynch a place in the Women's Money in the Bank ladder match!
00:52In numerous brawls between the pair of women!
00:54Well, let's get this straight, first Lyra beat her for the NXT Championship, then at WrestleMania, Lyra and Becky win the Women's Tag Team titles!
01:02The night after they lost to Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, Becky turned her back and Lyra beat the hell out of her!
01:07And that's why we're here tonight!
01:08Well, Lyra Valkyria was the one who lost that tag match and lost the tag gold, ruining Becky Lynch's triumphant return to WWE, hence the bad blood!
01:20Lyra Valkyria didn't even get an opportunity to get introduced!
01:23Oh! And Becky Lynch dropping her on the floor!
01:25Remember, Champions Advantage tonight!
01:28Becky has to pin her submit, Lyra Valkyria to win the Intercontinental title!
01:32Valkyria now writhing in agony, grabbing that left elbow, which took all of that momentum of Valkyria's fall!
01:41Well, Becky smells of desperation right now!
01:44She's never beaten Lyra Valkyria!
01:46She lost to her with the NXT title on the line!
01:49She lost to her back at Backlash for the Intercontinental Championship!
01:52And Lyra is just... she has so much confidence now, Wade!
01:56Becky Lynch, I think, is taken out of her game!
01:59Well, both of those victories by Lyra Valkyria over Becky Lynch were very quick pins out of nowhere!
02:06Nothing decisive in Lyra, but the rivalry this heated!
02:10You need to make a statement by knocking out your opponent, or making them say, I quit!
02:15And Becky with the best loader, she's been dominated here thus far!
02:18After Lyra Valkyria started the match off quickly!
02:20Cover now for the Championship, and a kick out by Lyra!
02:23Becky clearly had a plan, she was gonna attack early, now she's in charge!
02:29This match tonight, except for me!
02:32That's why...
02:34I think Lyra needs a win!
02:38This is your champion!
02:44By Lyra Valkyria over Becky Lynch!
02:47I would argue that Becky Lynch took Lyra Valkyria too lightly!
02:51She wasn't aware how much Valkyria has grown and developed over the past six months!
02:56This is a very different Becky Lynch tonight!
02:58This is game day Becky Lynch!
03:01Big time backs here to make a statement against the young pretender!
03:05Yeah, this is a different Lyra Valkyria than the one she remembers from being the young girl!
03:10Backslide by Lyra, shoulders down, rep Jessica Carr in perfect position!
03:14Intercontinental Champion!
03:15Oh!
03:16Oh!
03:17Oh!
03:18Point for the manhandle slam!
03:19Great counter by Lyra for the win!
03:20And a kick out by Becky!
03:21Really nice reversal there!
03:22So, how technically a scoop Lyra Valkyria is!
03:25Yeah, that was a great, great counter by Becky into the cover!
03:28Kick out at two!
03:29Lyra was going for Nightwing!
03:30Her finishing maneuver!
03:31Lyra's been the only woman to hold the Intercontinental Championship!
03:35She won the inaugural tournament back in January!
03:38140 days as champion!
03:40Becky Lynch, of course, has never held the Intercontinental title!
03:43Would like to add that to her resume tonight!
03:45How nervy, timid, did Lyra Valkyria used to come across in her early days here on the Raw and SmackDown roster!
03:53Oh!
03:54A new side of her brought out by Lynch!
03:55Leg drop, cover!
03:56Hooks the leg!
03:57Almost in here!
03:58All that time by Becky!
04:00There's often that wake up moment for young superstars when they break in at the very top level!
04:06You have to realize the guys and the girls that you watch!
04:09The guys and the girls that you studied!
04:11The greats!
04:12They ain't your friends anymore!
04:13They have to stop being your heroes!
04:15It's dog-eat-dog at the very top of this game!
04:18Becky Lynch is frustrated!
04:20And I think she's a bit desperate as I said before!
04:23In her last five matches for a championship!
04:26Becky Lynch is old for five!
04:29Has not been able to get it done!
04:30And the more that streak goes on, Pat, the more it gets in the back of your head that maybe you can't win the gold again!
04:35They just start getting a little bit emotional about it!
04:37Which you've certainly seen out of Becky over the last couple of weeks!
04:40When you call it emotional, I call it a sore loser!
04:43Do you know who else shares that trade have been a sore loser?
04:46Pretty much every Hall of Famer we have in WWE!
04:50It's a good thing at the top!
04:52Yeah, certainly not used to it!
04:53Lyra!
04:54Cucks underneath!
04:55And Rob Grayson!
04:56Spitting neckbreaker to Becky and both women Dan!
05:00Lyra's not familiar with losing as well!
05:02Seems like all she does is win!
05:04Certainly since she got here to Monday Night Raw!
05:06Yeah, confidence is just growing!
05:08She's everywhere in media around the world!
05:11Metro UK interview this week!
05:15She talked about learning it's fight or flight!
05:18Do it or don't!
05:20She was featured in Muscle and Fitness for her CrossFit routine!
05:24The world is beginning to learn more about Lyra Valkyria!
05:27And the more times she has 5 star matches like she had at Backlash and perhaps here tonight!
05:31The more people are going to appreciate what this young woman can do!
05:35Nothing but a great sign when a superstar absorbs more spotlight and gets better and better!
05:41Like Lyra Valkyria has done!
05:43But this is a real test tonight!
05:45Because Becky Lynch has the bit between her teeth!
05:49And is out for blood!
05:50Yeah, but now Lyra Valkyria starting to come back a bit in this match!
05:53Oh!
05:54Down goes Becky!
05:55For the win now!
05:56Becky barely kicks out at 2 and a half!
06:01Top tier durability shown by Lyra Valkyria!
06:04So far not a surprise that Becky Lynch has that same level!
06:08And remember what else is at stake here!
06:10Becky loses!
06:11She'll never get an opportunity at the Intercontinental title as long as that young woman Lyra holds the championship!
06:17However, if Becky should win, then she wants to embarrass Lyra about forcing Lyra to hold Becky's hand in the air!
06:25As Becky celebrates her victory!
06:27That humiliation is just as bad as the prospect of losing the goal to Valkyria!
06:32Now by Becky looking to win the title this way!
06:34Lyra Valkyria able to reverse!
06:36Shoulders down!
06:37Kick out!
06:38Oh!
06:39Oh!
06:40Lyra!
06:41So talented!
06:42Oh!
06:43Becky!
06:44So smart!
06:45Becky DDT stands Lyra up on the top of her head!
06:48Becky closing in on the title!
06:50Hook of the leg!
06:51For the win!
06:52Near fall again!
06:53For the man!
06:54Every disc in the neck of Lyra Valkyria just got compressed!
06:59By this!
07:00Spike DDT!
07:01All of the power and momentum right on the top of the cranium!
07:06And Valkyria is looking like she's in a mess now!
07:11There's levels to this game!
07:13And this, we are witnessing, is called Unmatched Finesse from Becky Lynch!
07:18Becky into the corner!
07:19Launched out to the apron by the champion!
07:22Right hand by Becky stuns Lyra!
07:24Becky just been a step quicker I think here tonight so far!
07:27Becky calls this city home!
07:29Managed to knock the stuffing out of Lyra Valkyria who has dropped down the gears and is desperately
07:35now trying to get back into the fight!
07:37Yeah Becky had a completely different game plan tonight than she did last month of Backlash!
07:43And that again shows you the level of Becky Lynch!
07:46Someone can change it up!
07:47Look at the power of Valkyria from the top rope!
07:50Lyra!
07:51Look at it put Becky away!
07:54Oh!
07:56Down goes Becky!
07:58Cover!
07:59Of that Fisherman's and a kick out by Becky at 2!
08:02And it really shows you how evenly matched these two R's!
08:06We take another look at this suplex from the very top by Valkyria who stacked it with his
08:12Fisherman suplex!
08:13Devastating combo there!
08:14But neither woman has really had an extended period of superiority in this match thus far!
08:21It's been back and forth aside from 20 seconds here!
08:2420 seconds there!
08:25Absolutely!
08:26Wade you said evenly matched and you're right!
08:30The last couple of matches they had could have gone either way!
08:33Lyra came out on top!
08:36Which helped this amazing confidence build in this Intercontinental Champion!
08:42Lyra Valkyria over the last couple of weeks has been talking the same game she's been walking!
08:47Which is the top of the WWE!
08:49But for the moonsault!
08:51Lands on her feet!
08:52Becky runs into a heel kick!
08:55That turned Becky inside out!
08:57Valkyria now with an opportunity!
09:00Becky!
09:01Turns it around!
09:03Into an arm bar now!
09:04Becky in an arm bar!
09:05On Lyra!
09:06Lyra's in trouble!
09:07Lyra taps!
09:08Becky's the champion!
09:09Lyra's eyes popping out of her head!
09:12Realizing that!
09:13Championship's looking away on!
09:14Great move by Lyra!
09:16So smart to get out of the fire and back on the offense!
09:19Just like that guy!
09:21And now Valkyria!
09:22Knee to the back of the net!
09:23Look at the way that Becky Lynch's legs are bending here!
09:27Modified half-busting crab!
09:29And why the hell are you taking this now Lyra?
09:31Lyra's so innovative for such a young superstar!
09:34Yeah punishing Becky Lynch!
09:36Technical masterclass from one of the Dubliners in this match!
09:41It's been like this since the beginning!
09:43She is so talented!
09:45Yeah Becky!
09:46Gonna force a break!
09:48A five count!
09:49And that's really frustrating if you Valkyria!
09:51You know you've got the game winner in your hands!
09:53And Lynch escapes from your clutches!
09:56But straight back on the offense!
09:58Cross body by Lyra out to the floor!
10:02Yeah Valkyria's not taking her foot off the gas!
10:05You simply cannot do that against someone the caliber of a Becky Lynch!
10:08You can't give him a window!
10:10Well Becky Lynch is scrambling now!
10:12Trying to get that distance of his work!
10:14Yeah Becky uh lying over the hood of the Spanish announced table!
10:19Lyra Valkyria comes out to bring the fight to Becky!
10:23Becky though!
10:24Elbow to the midsection!
10:26It's all about the intercontinental change!
10:29Lyra Valkyria!
10:32Punting Becky Lynch!
10:34Becky Lynch looking like she's got nothing left in the tank at this point!
10:39She's been outgunned over the last couple of minutes by Lyra Valkyria!
10:43Lyra now gonna climb up on the top of the Spanish announced table!
10:46Becky Lynch is prone!
10:48Over the barricade!
10:50Lyra now!
10:51Lay dropped to the back of the neck of Lynch!
10:53And Lynch just collapses!
10:55Lyra Valkyria!
10:57That's a high risk there from Valkyria landed nastily on her own tailbone but shrugging it off!
11:04Clearly the worst for where now Becky Lynch!
11:07Lyra Valkyria ready to risk it all!
11:09She said she feels alive when she can fly!
11:12And that's what Lyra's gonna do here!
11:14Becky though!
11:15Carter stacks her up for the win!
11:17And the championship!
11:18And a kick out at two!
11:19I don't know if that was reflexes from Lynch or just playing possum and sucking!
11:24Suckering!
11:25Excuse me!
11:26Lyra Valkyria into this one after!
11:28This kind of offense!
11:31Just superb stuff from Becky Lynch!
11:34Almost pulling out the victory at the deck!
11:37This has been an incredible match tonight for the Women's Intercontinental Championship!
11:43Did not disappoint!
11:44Becky Lynch, the challenger!
11:46Lyra Valkyria, the champion!
11:48Both women down, center of the ring!
11:51We are sold out tonight in Los Angeles!
11:53At the Intuit Dome in front of 17,374 WWE fans who have been vocal all night long!
12:02Becky Lynch certainly did not get an easy ride to the top of this industry!
12:06And she has not given anyone else one either!
12:09Certainly not!
12:10Lyra Valkyria!
12:12You wanna climb?
12:13You wanna go somewhere here?
12:15You gotta get past this version of Becky Lynch, the acid test!
12:21Lyra Valkyria is ready to say, I am already past you!
12:24I am the Intercontinental Champion!
12:26It is!
12:27It is!
12:28It is!
12:29It is!
12:30It is!
12:31It is!
12:32It is!
12:33It is!
12:34It is!
12:35It is!
12:36It is!
12:37It is!
12:38It is!
12:39It is!
12:40It is!
12:41It is!
12:42It is!
12:43It is!
12:44It is!
12:45It is!
12:46It is!
12:47It is!
12:48It is!
12:49It is!
12:50It is!
12:51It is!
12:52It is!
12:53Becky!
12:54From the second row!
12:55For the title!
12:56And Lyra kicks out at two!
12:57And Becky can't believe it!
13:00How cold!
13:02A super manhandle slam!
13:06And all the color draining from the face of Lynch!
13:10All the hope fading with it!
13:13That was the ultimate nuclear weapon from Becky Lynch!
13:18And more than equal to it was Lyra Valkyria!
13:23I've been able to beat Lyra Valkyria!
13:31I had an opportunity!
13:32With a massive manhandle slam from the second rope!
13:35And I still couldn't get the job done!
13:37How does she beat Lyra?
13:39Well, your best shot!
13:40And you came up blank!
13:42You're in big trouble!
13:43And Becky Lynch is about to come unglued!
13:46Oh!
13:47Big slap from Lyra!
13:48And Lyra just never gives up!
13:50Oh!
13:51And she might now!
13:52Whipped head and spine first!
13:55Manhandle slam outside!
13:57Onto the floor!
13:58But Becky's gotta get her back in the ring!
14:00In order to win the championship!
14:02A five count by our official Jessica Carr!
14:05Becky Lynch tapping into a new level of savagery here!
14:09And Lyra Valkyria!
14:10And Lyra Valkyria!
14:11As Becky's trying to-
14:12Now she's gotta get her in the ring to-
14:13To force the-
14:14To-
14:15To force the-
14:16To count to be broken!
14:17Wise veteran move by Becky!
14:19Also by Lyra!
14:20Lyra though!
14:21Nightwing!
14:22Nightwing!
14:23Nightwing!
14:24Outside the ring to the floor!
14:25Both women are down with the title up for grabs!
14:28One, two, three, four!
14:30Nightwing!
14:31On to the floor!
14:32Lyra Valkyria!
14:33Just a blink of an eye!
14:35Reactionary moment!
14:37And this may be a double count-out here Cole!
14:39Count of seven now!
14:40Double count-out means Lyra keeps the championship!
14:43We are now at a count of eight!
14:44Both women are struggling here!
14:47And now Becky and Lyra both meet the count in a count of nine!
14:50Thank God!
14:51A double count-out there would've solved absolutely nothing!
14:56Thankfully for all of us, this match lives on!
14:58Lyra still would not have a loss to Becky Lynch!
15:01Yeah, but let's talk about it!
15:03So, the hand of Becky Lynch would not have been raised!
15:06The opportunity for Becky Lynch to never challenge again for that Intercontinental Championship!
15:12A double count-out!
15:13None of that matters!
15:15We need a conclusion tonight!
15:18And we're gonna get one!
15:20Lyra and Becky now, fighting!
15:23Again, just no love-loss between these two!
15:26Lyra Valkyria used to idolize Becky Lynch!
15:30Crew up wanting to be just like her!
15:32Becky became a mentor before she turned her back on Valkyria!
15:36And now Becky, into the ropes, roll up now by Lynch!
15:39Becky Lynch!
15:40Lyra able to turn it around into a pitting combination of her own before Becky kicks out!
15:45Look at the wounds of Valkyria's back!
15:47Lyra now, rolls through, shoulders down!
15:50Shoulders down!
15:51Will she beat Becky again that way?
15:52Becky Lynch now!
15:53Becky Lynch!
15:54Oh!
15:55And listen, wait a minute!
15:56From our point of view, I can see Becky at the pipes!
15:59Here is your winner, the new women's Intercontinental Champion, the man, Becky Lynch!
16:14Becky Lynch wins the Intercontinental Championship after a tremendous reign by Lyra Valkyria!
16:20And I wondered if we got a camera angle on the other side of the ring because Becky Lynch clearly, from our vantage point, had pulled the tights of Lyra Valkyria, giving her the opportunity to pick up the win!
16:32I don't know what you're talking about, Michael!
16:37Becky Lynch!
16:38This is what I'm talking about!
16:39Right there!
16:40Becky's got the tights!
16:41Becky's got the tights!
16:42And she picked up the win over Lyra!
16:44Wasn't a clear angle, as far as I'm concerned, but what is a clear angle is Becky Lynch with some newly acquired gold!
16:53And there's still a little bit of business to take care of now in the aftermath, isn't there, Michael Cole?
16:58Lyra has to lift Becky's hand!
17:01And Becky knew where the ref was, I assume is what Becky would say!
17:06Hand on the tights for sure, I saw the same thing you did, but it doesn't matter now!
17:11The man is Intercontinental Champion!
17:14And Lyra's gotta pay up!
17:16A deal is a deal!
17:18Well, Lyra Valkyria, a very proud woman, a very proud champion!
17:24She'll pull her into the bargain, there's no doubt about that!
17:27I mean, it's a tough time, she's humiliated and embarrassed for having to do this, but...
17:34Lost her most prized possession to her most hated rival, here we go!
17:39Oh, come on, you gotta give Lyra credit, true sport there!
17:52Acknowledging the queen of Dublin's fair city, Becky Lynch!
17:56All four sides!
18:01Oh, come on!
18:02Yep!
18:03With the people that money's worth!
18:04Lyra did what she was supposed to do, Wade!
18:07Yeah, it was never agreed upon, it's uh...
18:09Do it!
18:10It was always in the details!
18:11Do it with gusto, that's it!
18:13Do it like you mean it, Lyra!
18:15Oh, dear!
18:16Why do this to this poor woman?
18:17Without victory!
18:18Without making a statement, Cole!
18:19Oh, yeah, I gotta complete the deal, she's saying!
18:20You gotta strap it around my waist!
18:21Oh, I don't know if they talked about that!
18:22Criving the new champion here!
18:23If we do it, we do it!
18:24What?
18:25Well, first she cheats to win, then she's gotta put on this public display of humiliation
18:50to the former champion Lyra Valkyria.
18:52Valkyria needs to know her place in the pecking order, and this is it!
18:58Directly beneath the Intercontinental Champion!
19:02Big time!
19:03Oh, look at this!
19:04No!
19:05Yeah!
19:06Lyra Valkyria has had enough!
19:09German Nightwing!
19:15Well, Becky deserved that, Wade.
19:17Lyra lived up to her, part of the bargain,
19:20and then some!
19:22Lyra Valkyria is a sore loser, if you ask me!
19:25And there's one thing I really hate, it's a sore loser!
19:29Listen, at the end of the day, if she held up the arm once and left, no problem.
19:33Becky's the Intercontinental Champion, Lyra though, got a little payback.
19:38Well, WWE 2K25 is 30% off on Steam and PlayStation today.
19:43Get your copy to play as Jacob Fatu in the Bloodline Showcase mode,
19:46which features Paul Heyman at his storytelling test.
