In a twist more predictable than a Fast & Furious sequel, Becky Lynch decided that loyalty has an expiration date—and that date was yesterday.
Just one day after claiming the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles with her fellow Irish export, Lyra Valkyria, Becky hit the betrayal button faster than a toddler with an iPad. On Monday Night Raw, after losing their titles in record-breaking “blink and you missed it” fashion to Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, Becky hugged Valkyria… then promptly tried to hug her with a clothesline to the throat.
Their reign officially lasted less time than a Las Vegas wedding, and ended with more violence than the divorce proceedings.
Let’s break it down:
-
The match? Chaotic. Morgan and Lynch started swinging like two angry Yelp reviewers.
-
Valkyria and Rodriguez? Went toe-to-toe in a battle of “Who has the stronger jawline?”
-
The finish? Valkyria tweaked her knee off a top-rope move, Rodriguez booted her into next week, and Morgan finally hit her Oblivion finisher after a failed attempt earlier. Titles gone.
And then… drama.
After the bell, Lynch and Valkyria shared a sweet post-match hug… which, like all WWE hugs, ended in backstabbing and brain-rattling haymakers. Becky unloaded fists like she was trying to win a carnival game, battering Valkyria with enough rage to power three heel turns and a mid-season reboot.
The audience gasped. The Irish betrayed the Irish. The tag reign was dead. Becky’s babyface run? Also dead. And somewhere backstage, Triple H probably muttered, “That escalated quickly.”
Meanwhile, Liv Morgan casually moonwalked into her fourth tag title reign like it was just another Monday. She and Rodriguez are headed to NXT next, ready to take on Gigi Dolin and Tatum Paxley, who now know that simply surviving might count as a win.
As for Valkyria? Welcome to the main roster, kid. The backstabbing’s included, no extra charge.
