A current champion defended her title tonight on WWE RAW. She seemingly suffered an injury during the match.

Lyra Valkyria has made a name for herself. She made it to the finals of the Queen of the Ring Tournament. Although she didn't win the contest, she eventually became the first-ever Women's Intercontinental Champion.

Since winning the title, she made her first defense last week against Dakota Kai. After winning that match, she was ambushed by Ivy Nile, who had been in pursuit of her first title in the WWE under the orders of Chad Gable. Hence, a title match was set up for tonight.

Both women put on a stellar contest on RAW tonight. However, Ivy kept targeting Lyra's left leg during the match, making it hard for her to stand. Despite this, Lyra hit the Nightwing on Ivy to pick up the win and retain her title. However, the champ looked hurt after the match, struggling to stand.

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker.
