Lyra Valkyria vs. Raquel Rodriguez

[5.0] "Super average match. Lyra did well here but Raquel looked awful, imo. She was slow and sloppy here and Lyra had to do the heavy lifting. The fact that it only got 8 minutes didn't help either since they couldn't get into a higher gear."

[6.0] "Another not bad match on this show. I never thought Rodriguez was winning the belt, but I do think it's cool that she even got this opportunity in the first place. Glad to see Valkyria getting another title defense, as well. It's nice to see a newer star getting pushed on Raw."

[6.0] "A pretty average match and a nice spot for Raquel, who has felt pretty overshadowed by Liv for a while now so it was cool to see her getting this match after the one with Bayley the episode prior. Good to see Lyra get the win and continuing her run with the title and it feels like she is defending it every other week, so hopefully she gets an actual storyline sometime soon. 3 stars at best."

[6.0] "This is a little clunky at times but that mostly works in the match's favour for my money, producing an engaging rough edge. That's quickly becoming Lyra's calling card, with Raquel matching her clobbering more often than not. ***"

[6.0] "Unfortunately, Raquel is now just a pale copy of her NXT self. But such a talented opponent as Lyra was able to bring her to a decent level. I am glad that Lyra is given airtime, but I want to assure her storyline with more interesting opponents. ***1/4"

[6.0] "lyra is so good she made raquel look decent #respect i wonder what her wrestlemania match is. i don't understand why raquel loses so much being so much bigger than her opposition..."

[6.0] "A decent match, and it was also Raquel best MR match (singles to be exact), this is why Lyra deserves the title, she is one of the best women in the roster, and carried Raquel to a decent match, her title reign has became good, she managed to make it a workrate title as it should and she gives inferior opponents their best matches, Bayley came out to save Lyra from Liv and Raquel attacks after the match. Now considering this, the unaired backstage segment from last monday (Where Lyra showed that she is still not over her loss to Bayley), the fact that Bayley has a pinfall win over IC champ Lyra, and the fact that they made a hype package for that match itself, Lyra WM match should realistically be against Bayley for the title, and Lyra gets her victory back Hopefully they don't do Lyra/Bayley Vs Liv/Raquel for the sake of giving Liv a WM spot."

[4.0] "The match had some decent moments that lead nowhere, it needed more time and the ending was quite bad, too."

[6.0] "This was an okay title defense for Lyra Valkyria she had made this title a work rate title. I do like the way they have established this title on RAW. Raquel Rodriguez had a very solid showing as she had some sort of chemistry with Lyra Valkyria. Afterward, Bayley came out to make the save for Lyra Valkyria after fending off Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez of The Judgement Day. I think next for Lyra Valkyria is Bayley at WrestleMania 41."

[4.0] "This was pretty bad, too slow and felt quite unorganised. I really don't understand what they are trying to do with Lyra with this title run, what are they trying to accomplish with her? She's not terrible in ring, but their is no reason for her to have this title."

"8.5/10 Lyra best title defence match so far, enjoyed every part of it, making Raquel look like the real power house she is, both ladies cooked, hope we get to see a storyline of Bayley and Lyra leading to WM"

[5.0] "Pretty much exactly what you'd expect. The crowd wasn't too hot, which isn't surprising for yet another meaningless title, and the heels were more over than the babyface champion. The work was fine, the structure made sense, and Lyra looked fluid with her moves - but nothing more than that."

[5.0] "Had its moments but ultimately felt soft and a bit messy. The finish with a botchy and messy roll up just topped it off. Lyra has impressed me since the introduction of the Women's IC belt so hopefully picks up again."

[6.0] "The way the match ended seems to set up a potential rematch for Raquel. I don't think this will be the last time these two face off for the championship. I wouldn't be surprised if, with Bayley's involvement, they also build towards a rivalry for the tag titles. I'm curious to see where this goes. The match was pretty decent, and Lyra is putting in a lot of effort each week to prove why she deserves this title."

[6.0] "Solid defense but nothing remarkable, another fun defense for Lyra who has been the second best Mid-Card champion in WWE rn (Vaquer #1)"

[5.0] "Okay match. Had some spots that did not look great to me like the hurricarana into the announce table. Lyra and Raquel did have a good dynamic and played into each other's strengths. Thought it was a weaker finish than this match needed."

[7.0] "Decent TV match, nothing too special. Lyra is so good in the ring and Raquel did well in the powerhouse role"

[6.0] "Raquel had some cool power moves here and Lyra played a great underdog. Lyra definitely deserves this run and I'm pretty excited to see how the rest of Lyra's title reign plays out."
