AEW Star MJF Picks Side in WWE Feud Before ‘SummerSlam 2025’ originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
AEW star MJF has his favorite in a current WWE feud.
For the past few months, Becky Lynch and Lyra Valkyria have been involved in a heated rivalry. It began when Lynch turned on Valkyria they lost the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship just one night after they won the gold at “WrestleMania 41.”
Lynch and Valkyria have traded wins, with “The Man” taking the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship from her former protégé. The two will collide in singles action once again at “SummerSlam 2025.”
If Lynch retains, then Valkyria can’t challenge her for the gold again.
During an appearance on SiriusXM’s Busted Open Radio, MJF revealed who he favors in the rivalry (via WrestlePurists).
“I’m a big fan of Becky Lynch,” MJF said. “Hate that Lyra (Valkyria) girl. I agree with Becky. [Lyra] stinks. I’m a staunch Becky Lynch supporter. If you have an issue with Becky Lynch, I have an issue with you. Not into this Lyra chick. Something is up with her. She’s probably a bad person.”
MJF and Lynch are stars in “Happy Gilmore 2,” and they have exchanged pleasantries through the media. They are also top heel talents for their promotions.
MJF currently has a guaranteed AEW World Championship opportunity, but he’s been feuding with the likes of Mark Briscoe and Mistico on his way to inevitably exercising his right to challenge for AEW’s top male title.
There is no word on which day Lynch will defend her title against Valkyria, given that “SummerSlam” is a two-night special this year. It will be a no-disqualification match.
