Becky Lynch Crowned New Women's Intercontinental Champion at WWE Money in the Bank 2025

Thrilling Championship Match

The WWE Money in the Bank 2025 event showcased an exhilarating match for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship, where Lyra Valkyria defended her title against Becky Lynch. Both athletes delivered a captivating performance, receiving accolades from fans and critics alike. Ultimately, Becky Lynch made history by winning the championship for the first time in her career.

Building Tension

The rivalry intensified after Becky turned heel during the first RAW episode following WrestleMania 41, launching a fierce attack on Lyra and igniting a heated feud. At Backlash 2025, Lyra managed to retain her title in their initial clash, but Becky remained relentless, determined to prove her superiority, which she accomplished at Money in the Bank.

High Stakes and High Drama

This match included a significant stipulation: if Becky lost, she would be barred from challenging for the title while Lyra remained champion. Conversely, if Lyra lost, she would have to publicly acknowledge Becky as the superior competitor. With so much at stake, both wrestlers brought their A-game to the ring.

Lyra showcased her resilience by countering Becky’s Manhandle Slam multiple times. Despite a brutal Turnbuckle Manhandle Slam from Becky, it wasn’t enough to secure a win. Lyra retaliated with fierce offense, keeping Becky on the defensive throughout the match.

The conclusion was fast-paced and thrilling, with both competitors exchanging several roll-up attempts. In the end, Becky emerged victorious, scoring the three-count and claiming the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship, thus ending Valkyria’s impressive 145-day reign.

Post-Match Chaos

After the match, Becky insisted that Lyra publicly recognize her as the superior athlete, as stipulated. Although Lyra initially hesitated, she seemed to comply before suddenly launching a vicious post-match attack on the new champion. This assault left Becky stunned and indicated that their rivalry is far from over.

With Becky Lynch now the titleholder and Lyra Valkyria more determined than ever, it’s evident that this feud is just beginning. WWE appears to have confidence in this storyline, leveraging Becky’s experience and star power to elevate the Women’s Intercontinental Championship.
