Bayley Makes Dramatic Comeback on WWE Raw, Targeting Becky Lynch

Bayley's Return Shakes Up WWE Raw

Bayley made a stunning return to WWE Raw, targeting the newly crowned Women's Intercontinental Champion, Becky Lynch. This comeback was fueled by a desire for revenge stemming from earlier events this year, as Bayley, the longest-reigning WWE Smackdown women's champion, aimed to settle scores on the latest episode of WWE's show.

During the June 9 episode at the PHX Arena in Phoenix, Arizona, Becky Lynch revealed that her rival, Lyra Valkyria, had injured her shoulder during a previous encounter at Money in the Bank. Lynch demanded an apology from Valkyria, who appeared on the ramp, only to distract her while Bayley launched a surprise attack from behind. Despite the ambush, Becky managed to evade further confrontation.

In a storyline twist at Wrestlemania 41, Bayley and Valkyria were slated to compete for the Women’s Tag Team Championship. However, a mysterious attacker sidelined Bayley during the pre-show, allowing Lynch to step in as Valkyria’s partner, marking her return to WWE Raw after nearly a year away.

Lynch and Valkyria had previously captured the titles at WrestleMania, only to lose them back to the former champions shortly after. Following this, Lynch turned heel on Valkyria, igniting a fierce rivalry. In a heated promo, she even confessed to attacking Bayley the week after.

Becky's heel turn has escalated the feud with Valkyria over the past weeks on WWE Raw. At last month’s Backlash, Valkyria successfully defended her title against Becky, extending her reign to 175 days, marking her inaugural title run with the women’s Intercontinental Championship. However, after her victory at Money in the Bank, Becky has now become the new champion, setting the stage for a renewed rivalry with Bayley.
