Jey Uso and Lyra Valkyria Set Sights on Money in the Bank After Near Misses in King and Queen of the Ring Tournaments

Despite doing well in the recent King and Queen of the Ring tournaments, Jey Uso and Lyra Valkyria didn’t win the guaranteed title shots. GUNTHER and Nia Jax were the ones who got those opportunities. However, Uso and Valkyria are not discouraged. They are now focusing on the next big chance: the Money in the Bank ladder matches in Toronto on July 6th.

Uso made a customary entrance through the crowd on “WWE Raw,” with fans lighting up the arena with fireflies and chanting “yes” in support. He thanked the WWE Universe for their loyalty over the years and reflected on his journey, including the intense saga of The Bloodline and the pain of “losing [his] family.”

Despite his disappointment in losing to GUNTHER in the semifinals, Uso emphasized his determination to win the Money in the Bank match and secure a title shot.

Meanwhile, Lyra Valkyria expressed her determination in a backstage interview with Cathy Kelley. She acknowledged the guidance she received from Becky Lynch and highlighted her ability to stand on her own, evidenced by her strong performance in the Queen of the Ring tournament, where she reached the final before losing to Jax.

Valkyria’s interview took a dramatic turn when IYO SKY, whom she had defeated in the semifinals, attacked her in a fit of vengeance, leaving Valkyria battered before storming off.

Both Uso and Valkyria have shown resilience and focus, and they are determined to seize their next opportunity for championship glory. As they set their sights on the Money in the Bank matches, their resolve and the support of their fans will be crucial in their quest for success in Toronto.
