Becky Lynch has a chance to win a major championship at her second WWE PLE after coming back, much like she did at her first one.
The wrestling world was eagerly awaiting to see Becky Lynch make her return to WWE since May 2024. The Man finally came around at WrestleMania 41 and teamed up with Lyra Valkyria to dethrone Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez to win the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships.
However, they quickly lost it back to Morgan and Rodriguez on the following RAW, leading to Lynch snapping and attacking Valkyria in the process. The Man came to this week's edition of RAW taking place at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Missouri to explain her actions and got herself a huge title match.

Becky Lynch made an interesting revelation in her bid to get a title match

Becky Lynch came out on this week's edition of Monday Night RAW to explain her actions from last week and the reason for double-crossing someone who looked up to her, Lyra Valkyria. The Man started by first making a surprise revelation. She claimed to be the one to attack Bayley one night before her scheduled match at WrestleMania 41.

The former WWE Women's Champion revealed that Bayley had launched multiple attacks on her since 2019. Lynch claimed that Bayley never apologized to her, and it was time for her payback. Moreover, she openly claimed that Lyra Valkyria would have never been able to win the tag team championships with Bayley at WrestleMania 41. The current WWE Women's Intercontinental Champion came out to confront The Man.

Lyra Valkyria revealed that everyone warned her about Becky Lynch, but she always looked up to her. The heated argument escalated between them until Valkyria came into the ring, and Lynch began to leave. Just then, Valkyria challenged her to a match at WWE Backlash and offered to put her IC title on the line. Lynch accepted, and the two brawled until Becky Lynch retreated through the crowd.

The last time Lyra Valkyria and Becky Lynch battled was in WWE NXT, where Valkyria dethroned her for the NXT Women's Championship. With their match set in stone for Backlash, it will be interesting to see if she can retain her title.
