Plans for WWE SummerSlam just got a lot more chaotic.

On the July 21, 2025 episode of RAW, Becky Lynch and Lyra Valkyria came face-to-face in the ring to hype their upcoming WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship match. But this wasn’t just a typical promo—Lyra threw down a challenge that added serious fuel to their title showdown.

During the segment, Valkyria proposed making their match no disqualification and no count out. Without hesitation, Becky Lynch accepted, setting the stage for a wild, no-limits war at SummerSlam in MetLife Stadium.

The two shared tense words in the ring, trading verbal jabs before the stipulation was thrown out. This announcement marks a major shift in tone from what many expected would be a traditional bout. Now, anything goes.

This comes after Valkyria earned her title shot by defeating Bayley in a two-out-of-three falls match on RAW the week prior. That match was originally meant to lead to a Becky Lynch vs. Bayley showdown at SummerSlam, according to internal WWE plans nearly three weeks ago. However, the company made a last-minute pivot, leaving Bayley off another major card after already missing WrestleMania earlier this year.

Now, with Bayley’s status up in the air, all eyes are on Lynch and Valkyria as they prepare to throw down under no-DQ rules.
