Lyra Valkyria wasn’t thrilled about how her match against Becky Lynch at WWE SummerSlam 2025 turned out.
On WWE: Unreal Season 2, an episode recapped what went down at last year’s SummerSlam premium live event. During that episode, Lyra Valkyria expressed profound disappointment with how her match with Becky Lynch went down at that event.
“I want to be the person that people say, ‘I absolutely loved wrestling her. She gave me my best match ever.’ And I felt like I let myself down or didn’t rise to meet the occasion,” Lyra Valkyria said. “I didn’t even want to go back up to Gorilla. I felt so overwhelmed.”
Despite Valkyria’s comments, Lynch tried to downplay the situation.
“She was very upset with herself, and she just started apologizing to me, and I was like, ‘It’s fine. It’s just wrestling.’ And then she was like, ‘No, it’s not fine. I need you to yell at me.’ And I was like, ‘No. I’m never going to be upset because a wrestling move or moves don’t go our way.’ She’s great. She cares,” Becky Lynch said. “But also, that mindset is why she’s so great, and that’s why she’s going to continue to be great, and that’s why she’s going to get better. Because she doesn’t want the kid gloves. She wants to be told. That’s both a great and terrible mindset. Great for progress, terrible for mental health. And I know this.” [H/T: WrestlePurists]
