Becky Lynch Keeps Women’s WWE Intercontinental Title After Chaotic RAW Finish With Bayley

Becky Lynch and Bayley’s championship showdown on the June 23 episode of WWE RAW didn’t end the way anyone expected.

The match took place at Columbus, Ohio’s Nationwide Arena and had all the heat fans wanted to see. Lynch and Bayley have gone to war for years, but this one came with the Women’s Intercontinental Championship on the line.

Bayley came into the match looking for payback after Becky Lynch cost her a WrestleMania moment earlier this year. Lynch went on to stack her trophy case, grabbing the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles and the Women’s IC Title, but Bayley was waiting for her shot.

Once the bell rang, Bayley took control early and went after Lynch around the ringside area. Fans in Columbus were loudly backing Bayley, but Lynch clawed her way back into the match. The two threw everything at each other and eventually found themselves battling for control on the top rope. Lynch won that exchange with a superplex that left both women gasping for momentum.

Bayley nailed Lynch with a Manhandle Slam, but Becky wisely rolled out of the ring to avoid the pin. Lynch fought back by launching Bayley over the announce table and burying her in chairs. That’s when Lyra Valkyria stormed down to the ring.

Lyra nearly interfered, but she stopped short of causing a disqualification. Still, Lynch caught her with a basement dropkick, and the distraction gave Bayley the opening she needed. Bayley slammed Lynch into every surface she could find before throwing her back into the ring.

As Bayley climbed the ropes to finish the match, Lyra suddenly jumped into the ring and attacked Becky Lynch. The referee immediately called for the bell, ending the match in disqualification. Bayley and Lyra argued in the ring as Lynch grabbed her title and made a fast exit. The Women’s IC Title picture just got messier, and it’s clear this story isn’t over yet.
