As seen during the April 21st 2025 edition of WWE RAW, Becky Lynch turned heel on Lyra Valkyria after they lost the women’s tag team titles. While speaking on Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez of F4WOnline.com discussed the creative direction…

“This whole thing was Becky’s idea. It was all Becky’s idea. I heard about it in advance. ‘Becky wants to come back, she wants to win the title, then turn on Lyra the next night.’ When I heard it, I was like, ‘What? This is an absolutely horrible idea.’

But as it turns out, her coming back and winning the title, if you went on Twitter after that show – they all cheered Becky and everything – but very shortly thereafter, there were all the ‘Becky Hogan’ posts. I didn’t know that her plan involved losing the title. I thought she was gonna turn on Lyra as champions and they’d vacate the title or whatever. But losing the title and turning on her – this all worked out perfectly for a heel turn. It didn’t for the Raw after WrestleMania, but she’ll be a heel next week.” (quote courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
