Lyra Valkyria’s night at WWE Backlash in St. Louis ended with her holding onto the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship but possibly paying a steep price. Valkyria secured a hard-fought victory over Becky Lynch, but a brutal boot to the face from Lynch may have left her with a serious injury.

During the closing moments of their match, the two Irish stars exchanged a series of pin attempts and reversals. It was during this intense sequence that Lynch’s boot appeared to connect with Valkyria’s nose. Valkyria immediately grabbed her face, seemingly in severe pain, as blood appeared to flow from her nose.

Michael Cole addressed the situation on commentary, saying, “It looks like Lyra Valkyria may have suffered a broken nose.”

Despite the injury, Valkyria managed to secure the win, but her troubles didn’t end there. As soon as the bell rang, Lynch launched a post-match attack, targeting Valkyria’s already damaged nose.
