by Becky Lynch defended her NXT Women’s Title against Lyra Valkyria on last week episode of WWE NXT. Both gave their absolute best in the ring, but at the end Lyra Valkyria emerged victorious and wins the NXT Women’s Title.
Lyra Valkyria recently gave an interviewed to Irish Mirror, where she talked about winning NXT Women’s Title, how much she was Inspired by Becky Lynch.
“Seeing Becky debut in NXT was the thing that set the wheels turning in my brain and made me look into this. I saw a girl Irish dancing on this huge platform here and was thinking where did she start this and that was what set the wheels in motion and made me look up where I could do this and led me to Bray where it started.
“I started when I was 17 and I do remember after my first session thinking ‘this is it, this is what I am going to do and I’m never going to look back.’ It’s the school where Finn Balor opened, Becky trained on the same mats and we’ve all trained with the same people and come through the same scene just all at different times which is crazy.”
“All the ways I imagined it happening that wasn’t one of them because it never seemed within the realms of possibility Becky who has gone on to main event Wrestlemania, one of the most decorated women in WWE I couldn’t imagine that she could have been NXT Champion in 2023, what were the odds and how could I see that happening and for me to be the one to dethrone her. It’s a picture that is so perfect I couldn’t have painted it.”
