Lyra Valkyria’s Slap Unleashes Bayley’s Ruthless Side in RAW Win Over The Judgment Day
The moment advanced Bayley’s split‑persona storyline, which coverage frames as edging her toward a heel turn.
Overview
- On the Oct. 13 episode of RAW in Perth, Bayley teamed with Lyra Valkyria against The Judgment Day’s Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez.
- Mid-match, Valkyria slapped Bayley, who laughed and then overwhelmed both opponents before sealing the win with a Rose Plant.
- Before the entrances, Valkyria said their partnership was a one‑night arrangement, a notion Bayley dismissed on camera.
- After the victory, Michael Cole and Wade Barrett wondered if Valkyria had figured out how to handle Bayley’s fluctuating persona.
- The turn-of-mood follows an August “voices in her head” promo, a SummerSlam misfire that hit Valkyria, and an unusual Sept. 15 return segment, which outlets cite as building toward a potential heel turn.
