WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship changed hands during Monday’s RAW broadcast when the newly-crowned champions suffered a defeat in their first title defense. The dramatic conclusion to the match featured an unexpected betrayal that signaled a significant character shift for one of the competitors.
Becky Lynch and Lyra Valkyria dropped the titles to Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez just days after winning them at WrestleMania 41. The championship reign proved remarkably brief, ending in their first defense against the same team they had defeated at the Allegiant Stadium showcase.
During the broadcast, Lynch made a notable announcement regarding her WWE status, confirming her return to full-time competition with the company. This declaration came shortly before the championship rematch that ended with the titles changing hands.
The post-match developments overshadowed the title change itself when Lynch suddenly attacked Valkyria from behind. The assault continued with Lynch executing her finishing move on her now-former partner. The unexpected turn drew a stunned reaction from the audience as Lynch stood over the fallen Valkyria.
Before departing the ringside area, Lynch delivered verbal provocations toward her former tag team partner, cementing what appears to be a significant character realignment. The attack establishes Lynch as a potential new antagonist in the women’s division following several years positioned as one of the company’s most popular performers.
