Starting the week strong, it is no secret that Barry’s Downtown Prime is THE spot for pro athletes to fuel up before a big match, and pro wrestling is no exception. Bayley and Lyra Valkyria, two women who currently dominate the tag team division, orchestrated a dinner fit for winners. From Je’Von Evans, who is on the card for a 6-man ladder match for the Intercontinental Title on Sunday, it sounds like it was certainly a star-studded evening.
Also present was Danhausen out of makeup, and we hear he didn’t leave a curse on anyone at the restaurant, but was seen on the red carpet trying to choke out Lyra’s fiancé, LJ Cleary, all in fun, of course.

World Heavyweight Champion himself, CM Punk, and his wife, AJ Lee, the current women’s Intercontinental Champion, were getting fueled up with some of the best steaks in Vegas prior to his main event at WrestleMania 42 this weekend.
In addition, AJ went head-to-head with Becky Lynch for the Intercontinental Title on Saturday night, and the match did not disappoint. Lynch ultimately secured the win over AJ Lee at WrestleMania 42 inside Allegiant Stadium, but not without stirring up some controversy.
The two wasted no time taking the fight outside the ring, with Lee slamming into the barricade before the action returned inside. Lynch even attempted to remove a corner turnbuckle in a sneaky move, though referee Jessica Carr quickly intervened. Wrestling fans were buzzing, with camera flashes going off everywhere, making it an electrifying moment to see top talent all in one place at Circa Resort & Casino.

From there, the match spiraled into chaos. Lee looked close to finishing things with a series of Black Widow attempts, but Lynch kept finding ways to regain control, landing punishing counters while Lee fought to stay in it.
The turning point came when Lynch clashed with referee Jessica Carr, opening the door for controversy. After breaking free with a hair pull, Lynch exposed the turnbuckle, sent Lee crashing into it, and capitalized with a final Manhandle Slam to walk away with the title.

Since the ladies were staying at Circa, they felt this was the best place to orchestrate a dinner for everyone, and as steak, fish, and lobster were brought out, it truly seemed like a feast of champions. It posed the best way for them to get together before the true madness of the week got underway.
Since Bayley and Lyra are Circa veterans, they wanted to show the rest of the crew everything from top to bottom. Following the meal, they all gathered on the red carpet outside of Barry’s and posed for photos. Iconic as always, as fans were snapping photos of their own.
Circa Executive Richard Wilk was seen coordinating everything and making sure it all went smoothly for everyone. Barry’s co-owner, Marco Cicione, who rarely gets in photos, was actually seen on the red carpet with four of the WWE Superstars before dinner.
