Lyra Valkyria has been the Women’s Intercontinental Champion for a long time now and she’s always ready to defend her title. With Evolution 2 coming up, Valkyria has now revealed who she wants to face at the event.

While speaking on the Battleground podcast, Lyra Valkyria was asked if she had any special opponents in mind that she would like to face off against at the Evolution 2 Premium Live Event.

Valkyria said that facing someone new would be exciting and refreshing for her. She mentioned Giulia, who is currently on SmackDown, as someone she has never shared the ring with before.

Valkyria also brought up Stephanie Vaquer, who has competed in NXT as well as on Raw. While it’s uncertain whether these matches will happen or who her opponent might be, Lyra made it clear that a fresh, first-time match-up would be something she’d really look forward to.

“A big match-up with someone that I haven’t faced yet would be very cool, mhm. Like, I know—um—we’ve got Giulia on SmackDown now. She’s, uh, I’ve never—never gotten in the ring with her. Stephanie Vaquer, she’s another one that’s been up and down from Raw, NXT… so I—we don’t know if it’s going to happen, I don’t know who will be involved. But someone that I haven’t faced yet would be, um, would be very cool—very fresh for me.”

The Evolution 2 Premium Live Event will be taking place on July 13, 2025, live from Atlanta, Georgia and as reported earlier, the event is expected to feature a bigger card than other Premium Live Events, with 7-8 matches as well as a battle royal taking place.

Therefore, we’ll have to see if Lyra Valkyria will end up getting to face either Giulia or Stephanie Vaquer at the Premium Live Event, as it’s certain that either match will steal the show in a big way.
