On the latest episode of WWE RAW, Lyra Valkyria defeated IYO Sky to become the first finalist of the 2024 Queen of the Ring tournament. She will either face Nia Jax or Bianca Belair in Saudi Arabia during the King and Queen of the Ring Premium Live Event on May 25, 2024.
Regardless of who Valkyria faces in the finals, she has to be aware of three-time WWE champion Liv Morgan at all times. There is a chance Morgan will interfere in the finals to cost Valkyria the victory and consequently, the crown.

WWE RAW featured a backstage segment that might indicate an assault
After winning against IYO Sky, Valkyria was gleaming with pride and happiness. She met Becky Lynch backstage who hyped her up but it was short-lived as Liv Morgan was waiting for her down the corridor.
Morgan "congratulated" Lyra Valkyria on her big victory, and taunted her with the sneak attack that Valkyria pulled off last week on WWE RAW. Morgan used the same trick and indicated Lynch was standing behind Valkyria and smacked the Queen of the Ring finalist in the face before running away.
Valkyria needs to be cautious of Liv Morgan during the premium live event. Assuming Morgan doesn't interfere during the match, a backstage assault is very much on the table at this point!
Liv Morgan can target Lyra Valkyria for her alliance with Becky Lynch
Becky Lynch was saved by Lyra Valkyria from Damage CTRL's assault on WWE RAW, and even played a role backstage when Lynch punched Morgan in the face. This is the 'sneak attack' Morgan referred to on the latest episode of WWE RAW.
Liv Morgan isn't too happy with Lynch finding an ally in Valkyria. As a result, she may try to injure Valkyria to a point where the former NXT Women's Champion is unable to fight in the Queen of the Ring final.
WWE can set up Lyra Valkyria for a title shot
If Liv Morgan attacks Valkyria during or prior to the finals and costs her the victory, Valkyria might become resentful towards Becky Lynch. You see, the only reason Morgan holds bitterness in her heart for Valkyria is due to the alliance with Lynch.
Hence, after the King and Queen of the Ring Premium Live Event, WWE can set up a creative direction where Valkyria turns on Becky Lynch to pursue the Women's World Championship. However, if Morgan wins the title from Lynch at the premium live event, Valkyria can go after Morgan as well! Either way, there's an angle for Lyra Valkyria to pursue the gold!
