WWE King & Queen Of The Ring 2024: 10 Things That Must Happen

Which match would you rather see? Lyra Valkyria vs. Bianca Belair or Lyra vs. Nia Jax? That's a question WWE will answer for you come SmackDown, and most out there reading this will be hoping the 'EST' scores a win to avenge her pal Jade Cargill and up the quality scale come Saturday.

Sorry, Nia, but there's no way you're having as good a bout with Valkyria as Bianca would. Here's another truth: Lyra beating someone like Belair would mean more to her future prospects than offing Jax following a largely one-sided beatdown for 10-ish minutes. Think about everything Bianca has accomplished for a second.

She's a former WrestleMania headliner, and could happily stare at the lights in Saudi for someone who deserves a leg up the same ladder she once climbed without losing any steam. Belair has something else going on with the  Women's Tag Titles, so dropping to defeat won't hurt her.

Lyra needs this more.
