Monday Night RAW witnessed an intense verbal spat between Becky Lynch and Bayley, with The Man stirring up the Green Bay audience by flaunting Chicago Bears apparel. The tension brewed over a previous attack by Becky on Bayley, which sidelined Bayley from WrestleMania 41 and led her to issue a challenge to Lynch.
True to her antagonistic persona, the reigning Women’s Intercontinental Champion dodged the match proposition in front of the present audience, stating she’d take the fight up against The Role Model on the forthcoming RAW scheduled for June 23, 2025, at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio. However, a dodged slap from Becky towards Bayley ended up with Bayley landing a firm hit on her.

The match was later sanctioned in a backstage conversation with stand-in RAW General Manager Nick Aldis, who was subbing for Adam Pearce. Notably, this fight will determine the Women’s Intercontinental Champion, inciting some discontent in Lyra Valkyria. Valkyria warned Bayley that should she secure the championship belt, her reign would be short-lived, as she intends to reclaim it.
Additionally, the next RAW episode will feature two semi-finals – one for the King and the other for the Queen of the Ring tournaments. The bouts are set as Roxanne Perez facing Jade Cargill and Cody Rhodes opposing Jey Uso.
The following summary showcases what’s in store for the upcoming episode of Monday Night Raw:
- King of the Ring Semi-finals: Cody Rhodes vs. Jey Uso
