Adam Pearce forced to intervene as top Champion seemingly suffers nose injury at WWE Backlash 2025

Adam Pearce was forced to intervene as a top Champion seemingly suffered a nose injury and a post-match attack at WWE Backlash 2025, despite winning the match.

The second match of the night at Backlash 2025 saw Lyra Valkyria put her Intercontinental Title on the line against Becky Lynch, her former idol-turned-rival. In an epic contest, Valkyria picked up the win, albeit via a roll-up pin. But a win is a win.

Valkyria was clutching her nose during the pin, but she didn't even get a second to celebrate. Becky Lynch quickly attacked her and put the Disarm-her on the Intercontinental Champion. Following this, Adam Pearce intervened.

As producer and former WWE star Jason Jordan escorted Becky Lynch out, Adam Pearce looked on in the ring with disgust. However, this was merely another night for the RAW General Manager, who is used to dealing with the chaos of the roster.

However, that chaos didn't involve Becky Lynch for nearly a year, and ever since WrestleMania 41, she has been a menace, particularly to the Women's Intercontinental Champion, Lyra Valkyria.

Lynch is now 0-2 against Valkyria, and it seems their rivalry is far from over, considering how things played out at Backlash.
