Lyra Valkyria To Challenge Becky Lynch For WWE Women’s IC Title At WWE SummerSlam

Lyra Valkyria will challenge Becky Lynch for the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship at WWE SummerSlam.

Lyra earned her title shot by defeating Bayley in a two-out-of-three falls match on the July 14th episode of WWE Raw.

The final fall saw Lyra escape a crossface, picking Bayley up and hitting Nightwing after Bayley tried to roll back to the center of the ring as Lyra got close to the ropes.
