Overview

• Becky Lynch defended her Women’s Intercontinental Championship in a street-fight match against Lyra Valkyria at MetLife Stadium, securing the win with a Manhandle Slam.
• Under the bout’s stipulation, Valkyria is barred from any future title challenges for as long as Lynch remains champion.
• Bayley’s interference backfired when her accidental chain shot on Valkyria set up Lynch’s decisive finishing move.
• Valkyria spent much of the match with her hands zip-tied, temporarily escaping by using a fire extinguisher before reapplying the ties and fighting on.
• Social media users lambasted visible errors—from the zip-tie mishap to Bayley’s mistimed involvement—as evidence of declining in-ring execution.
