Former WWE Champion Makes Stunning Return on 'Raw' After MITB 2025 originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
A former world champion is back on WWE TV, and revenge is on her mind.
During Monday's episode of "Monday Night Raw," newly minted WWE Women's Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch demanded an apology from Lyra Valkyria.

Instead, she received more than she bargained for with a superstar who made her shocking return.
Lynch addressed WWE fans following her women's Intercontinental title win at "Money in the Bank." She scolded the fans for not appreciating her. Valkyria had heard enough, and she made her way out.
Before Valkyria could get in the ring, Bayley attacked Lynch in her first appearance since suffering a storyline injury. Lynch was the perpetrator and ended up replacing Bayley at "WrestleMania 41."
A title match between Lynch and Bayley has been rumored for "WWE Evolution" on July 13 in Atlanta. The event is scheduled to be WWE's final PLE before "SummerSlam." It will also be WWE's second "Evolution" event, which is an all-women's show.

Bayley hasn't had a match since the April 14 episode of "Monday Night Raw."
She defeated Liv Morgan in singles competition. Bayley was expected to team with Valkyria to take on Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez for the WWE Women's Tag Championship at "WrestleMania," but Lynch took her out of action.
WWE chief content officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque recently praised Bayley for being a professional about being left off the biggest wrestling show of the year.
Bayley's absence at "WrestleMania 41" was surprising to many fans and experts, given that she captured the WWE Women's Championship during the 2024 show.
