Adam Pearce was forced to intervene as a top Champion seemingly suffered a nose injury and a post-match attack at WWE Backlash 2025 despite winning the match.
The second match of the night at Backlash 2025 saw Lyra Valkyria put her Intercontinental Title on the line against Becky Lynch, her former idol-turned-rival. In an epic contest, Valkyria would pick up the win, albeit via a roll-up pin. But a win is a win.
Valkyria was clutching her nose during the pin, but she didn’t even get a second to celebrate. Becky Lynch quickly attacked her and put the dis-arm-her on the Intercontinental Champion. Following this, Adam Pearce intervened.
Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan’s critics! More HERE.
As producer and former WWE star Jason Jordan was escorting Becky Lynch out, Adam Pearce looked on in the ring with disgust. This, however, is merely another night for the RAW General Manager, who is used to dealing with the chaos of the roster.
However, that chaos didn’t involve Becky Lynch for nearly a year, and ever since WrestleMania 41, she has been a menace – particularly to the Women’s Intercontinental Champion Lyra Valkyra.
Lynch is now 0-2 against Valkyria, and it looks like their rivalry is far from over based on how things played out at Backlash.
