Bayley and Valkyria Ready to Challenge Women’s Tag Champions
Fans can expect an exciting tag team showdown on WWE Raw as Bayley and Lyra Valkyria prepare to challenge reigning champions Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships. The announcement came directly from WWE Raw General Manager Adam Pearce via social media, adding a new layer of anticipation to the weekly program.
This tag team match was originally slated to take place at WrestleMania 41. However, unforeseen events disrupted those plans. Bayley was unexpectedly attacked by Becky Lynch before the match, which forced a change in the lineup. Lynch ultimately stepped in to replace Bayley, altering the course of the championship contest. Now, months later, Bayley and Valkyria are back on track and ready to pursue the titles together on Raw.
Interestingly, Bayley and Lyra have developed a complex rivalry in recent weeks, particularly involving Becky Lynch and the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship. Their interactions have intensified the storyline, giving fans multiple layers of drama to follow.
In addition to the tag team title announcement, Pearce revealed that CM Punk will kick off the upcoming episode of Raw. Punk is preparing for a major showdown against Gunther for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam, making his appearance highly anticipated.
The card for the July 21 episode of Raw is stacked with several compelling matches and segments. Roman Reigns is scheduled to address the audience, likely discussing recent developments in his ongoing storyline. The tag team division will be showcased in a number one contenders match for the WWE World Tag Team Championships featuring LWO (Joaquin Wilde and Cruz Del Toro) versus The Creed Brothers (Julius and Brutus Creed) against The New Day (Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston). This triple threat tag team bout promises intense competition and will likely set the stage for future championship opportunities.
Other exciting singles matches include Rusev taking on Sheamus, and Sami Zayn facing off against Karrion Kross. Both bouts bring unique storytelling and wrestling styles to the forefront, contributing to the overall excitement of the show.
Of course, the highlight will be the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship match where champions Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez defend their titles against Bayley and Lyra Valkyria. Given the recent tensions between these competitors, this encounter is expected to deliver high drama and hard-hitting action.
With this lineup, WWE Raw continues to build momentum heading into SummerSlam, providing fans with a blend of veteran star power, rising talents, and intense rivalries. The return of Bayley and Lyra to the tag team title picture injects fresh intrigue into the women’s division, while CM Punk’s presence adds a sense of gravity to the evening.
