Killer Kelly says Lyra Valkyria deserves the world.
In the main event of the October 24 episode of WWE NXT, which marked the first night of NXT Halloween Havoc 2023, Lyra Valkyria defeated Becky Lynch to win the NXT Women's Championship.
After the show, Killer Kelly took to social media and posted herself celebrating Valkyria's win with her. The picture was seemingly taken at the WWE Performance Center, as Valkyria still had her gear on. Kelly noted that she was proud of Valkyria, and she reflected on how far they had come since they wrestled each other in Ireland.
Proud is an understatement --

From wrestling each other in Ireland, outside, freezing cold, on a ring with no pads for 20 minutes, to watch her defeat Becky Lynch to become the NEW NXT Women’s Champion.
She deserves the world.
I love you @Real_Valkyria -- pic.twitter.com/4BeOfxtxzg
In another post, Kelly implied that she was watching the match live as she joked that one of the screams fans could hear when Valkyria won the title was not her. She also hinted that she cried from the beginning to the end of the match.
I swear to God that one of the screams you hear is not me.

I also swear to God that I didn’t cry from the beginning to the end of the match. https://t.co/LrQWdAo5fi
As Kelly noted, she has wrestled Valkyria plenty of times over the years, even before they arrived in WWE. At different points, Kelly and Valkyria both competed for NXT UK, but the company released Kelly in January 2020. Killer Kelly is currently signed to IMPACT Wrestling, and she is one-half of the IMPACT Knockouts World Tag Team Champions alongside Masha Slamovich.
