From Tag Partners to Bitter Enemies
Bayley and Lyra Valkyria were once a unified force in the women's division. Their partnership fractured in June when Valkyria turned on her tag-team partner, sparking an intense rivalry. The feud went dormant when Bayley stepped away from WWE, but reignited upon her return to television.
Since her comeback, Bayley has been hunting revenge. When Valkyria faced IYO SKY in a recent match, Bayley distracted her opponent from ringside. This interference cost Valkyria a valuable opportunity to qualify for the Money in the Bank Ladder Match, raising the stakes between the two competitors.
Valkyria's Recent Victory and Bayley's Payback
Lyra Valkyria landed a crucial victory over Bayley at Saturday Night's Main Event. During the match, Valkyria grabbed a handful of Bayley's tights while executing a pinning move, giving her the controversial win. The dirty tactic added fuel to an already burning feud.
Bayley's response came swiftly and decisively. By costing Valkyria her chance at Money in the Bank qualification, Bayley sent a clear message: this rivalry is far from finished. Both women have now drawn blood in their escalating battle.
A Rare Finish Looms for WWE Women's Division
The specific stipulation remains unconfirmed, but Bleacher Report, SI, and Fightful Select all report WWE is planning an unusual match type to conclude this feud. The bout will reportedly not be Hell in a Cell—a stipulation rarely used for women's matches in recent years. The last women's Hell in a Cell match happened in June 2021, when Bianca Belair defended her title against Bayley.
WWE's creative team is reportedly looking to deliver a memorable blow-off match that sets this feud apart. The rare stipulation signals WWE views this rivalry as worthy of a special presentation—a way to give Bayley and Valkyria their definitive finale.
