Here's the match video of Lyra Valkyria vs IYO SKY from last night's episode of RAW. This was the semi final in the Queen of the Ring tournament. So why did they have Lyra win this match? For one thing IYO may not want to go to Saudi Arabia. No one has to go. Lyra won with a rollup. So it's not like IYO can't get that back. But I don't like how they telegraph upset finishes. I knew when IYO took way too long to get to the top for the moonsault, she was losing. The other thing is they really want to push Lyra because it's possible that Becky Lynch is leaving the WWE. I have been saying for several months that Becky wants to try her hand at acting. All her recent promos have had retirement vibes. Plus her contract is ending soon. Lyra is a decent wrestler. She's better than Becky. But I don't care for her wide eyed naive demeanor. And I don't think fans will like it either. She hasn't been around long enough for fans to get cynical about her. These days fans like characters with an edge like Liv Morgan. But it's like I said. Becky's shtick has gotten stale. She's saying the same thing with the same inflection. She's probably tired of it too. Remember when they tried to turn her heel? That didn't go so well. So Becky's in a rut and maybe she doesn't see a way out. This Saturday Lyra will face either Bianca Belair or Nia Jax for the Queen of the Ring in Saudi Arabia. I hope it's Bianca only because Nia vs Lyra has train wreck potential. But remember both Bianca and Lyra are babyfaces. The WWE may not want to do that. The match is pretty good so enjoy the video!
