Twenty-eight-year-old WWE star hands Bayley a title match; The Role Model gives unexpectedly answer

Bayley has already cemented her legacy as WWE’s first-ever Women’s Grand Slam Champion, but she could soon add another major title to her long list of achievements. Lyra Valkyria, one of WWE’s rising stars, recently challenged Bayley to a match for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship. However, there’s one major obstacle in the way—Raquel Rodriguez.

Lyra Valkyria’s Challenge to Bayley

On this week’s episode of WWE RAW, Lyra Valkyria approached Bayley backstage and reminded her of their previous encounter. Several weeks ago, Bayley defeated Valkyria in an Elimination Chamber qualifying match, and the loss has stuck with the 28-year-old competitor ever since.

Determined to redeem herself, Valkyria offered Bayley a shot at the Women’s Intercontinental Championship—on one condition. She must first defeat Raquel Rodriguez in a match next week to retain her title.

During their backstage conversation, Valkyria made her intentions clear:

“I have to tell you something. I can’t stop thinking about the fact that you beat me. And I saw what they did to you last week. So once I go through Raquel and beat her, I have to prove to myself that I can beat you too. So you want a title shot, you got it.”

Bayley, while appreciative of the opportunity, didn’t immediately accept the challenge. Instead, she encouraged Valkyria to focus on her upcoming match against Raquel first:

“Okay, I appreciate that, champ, but, look, if I were you, I would focus on next week. I mean, you saw what they did to me last week, so focus on Raquel, and then we’ll see what happens, okay? I got my eye on them too, don’t worry about it. Good luck.”

What This Match Could Mean for Bayley’s Legacy

Although WWE has not officially confirmed the match between Bayley and Valkyria, a potential championship showdown could have major implications. If Bayley wins the Women’s Intercontinental Championship, she will make history once again by holding yet another prestigious title.

Having already won the Raw, SmackDown, NXT, and WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships, adding the Intercontinental Title would solidify her as one of the most decorated female superstars in WWE history.

Will Bayley Get Her Championship Match?

Before any match between Bayley and Valkyria can happen, all eyes will be on next week’s RAW, where Lyra Valkyria must defend her Women’s Intercontinental Championship against Raquel Rodriguez. If she retains, a showdown with Bayley could be on the horizon.

With WrestleMania 41 just around the corner, WWE may be setting up a high-stakes match that could further elevate the status of the Women’s Intercontinental Championship. Fans will have to wait and see if Bayley’s quest for even more gold becomes a reality.
