WWE SummerSlam 2025 – Night Two aired, streaming live on Netflix/Peacock from the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. This was the 38th annual edition of SummerSlam and the first two-night edition of SummerSlam in WWE history, and it came with nine title matches on the card. Six of them were placed on the second night of the show, including the mid-card title from the Raw women’s division.
In the third match of WWE SummerSlam 2025 Sunday Night, Becky Lynch retained the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship against Lyra Valkyria, and the match outcome occurred after chaos, thanks to some unintentional help from Bayley. Now that Valkyria has experienced a loss in the no disqualification match, Valkyria can no longer challenge Lynch for the gold again until she’s champion.

Given the No-DQ stipulation of the match at WWE SummerSlam 2025, the match witnessed weapons being introduced to it, including kendo sticks, a crowbar, and even a chain that Lynch wrapped around Valkyria’s head and mouth, trying to choke her out around the ring post. Lynch also brought a toolbox from underneath the ring and took a zip tie from it to tie Valkyria’s wrist.
Before getting rid of the zip tie, Valkyria hit back in this match by performing a moonsault off the second rope. She further blasted the champion with a fire extinguisher. Lynch took out Valkyria with a second Manhandle Slam on two chairs set up in the ring before taking her on the outside. Lynch stomped on another chair on top of Valkyria from off the commentary desk to pass her out.
