In a heated rivalry born in betrayal, Women’s Intercontinental Champion Lyra Valkyria will battle Becky Lynch for the title at WWE Backlash.
When Valkyria's WrestleMania tag team partner Bayley was mysteriously attacked prior to the WWE Women's Tag Team Title Match against Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, The Man returned to action to help Lyra win the gold on The Grandest Stage of Them All.
Morgan and Rodriguez reclaimed the title the next night on Raw, however, promoting an outraged Lynch to suddenly assault her partner.
After making it known that she had been the one who ambushed Bayley in order to replace her at The Show of Shows, The Man was confronted by the titleholder, leading to the announcement of their showdown on Saturday.
