Since becoming the IC Champion, Lyra hasn't had worthy opponents. Her feuds lacked substance and needed a worthy opponent. There could not have been a better opponent than The Man to elevate her. Lyra's win at Backlash meant the company has big plans for her.

Given Becky's heel turn, one would have naturally expected her to end Valkyria's title run, especially because it has lasted more than 100 days so far. But with her win over Becky, it is apparent that Valkyria could be pushed as an emerging face of the Women's division.
