The WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship will be on the line next Monday. Becky Lynch will be defending against Bayley. Bayley returned last week attacking Lynch after a two month hiatus from Lynch’s attack on her at WrestleMania.
In an in-ring promo on Raw, Bayley called out Lynch. Once in the ring, Bayley says that Lynch only took her out because Lynch was scared. She wasn’t sure if the fans were going to cheer or boo her upon her return from nearly a year absence. Bayley adds that Lynch no longer knows what it feels like to have to fight for everything. Lynch responded asking Bayley if she remembers what gold feels like.
By the end of the promo, Lynch agreed to a match with Bayley. However, Lynch did not want the title on the line. Later, backstage, Nick Aldis made the match official between the two for next week. He did say the title would be on the line because he found it only fair since Lynch costed Bayley a title match at WrestleMania.
Lyra Valkyria was backstage and overheard the news. Bayley tried to smooth it over telling her that she had to do what is best for her. Valkyria says she understood but wanted Bayley to take note that if she wins the title, then Valkyria will have to do what is best for her as well.
