During Wrestlemania 41, Lynch made her return to WWE television after an 11-month absence, stepping in for an injured Bayley, who was initially set to partner with Valkyria. Bayley was taken out backstage during the pre-show of Wrestlemania. Following Lynch's heel turn on WWE Raw, she may be revealed as the mystery assailant.
Previously, Lynch had been a mentor to Valkyria, and they teamed up at Wrestlemania to win the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship. In 2023, Lynch also helped elevate Valkyria's status by losing the NXT Women’s Championship to her in a friendly rivalry.
Now, with Lynch embracing her villainous side, a fierce rivalry is set to unfold between her and the babyface Valkyria on WWE Raw. This shift appears to be Lynch's strategy to boost Valkyria's prominence as a leading star. Meanwhile, Morgan and Rodriguez have made history as the first four-time women’s tag team champions in WWE.
