Speaking on Raw Talk, Lyra Valkyria expressed her excitement about her win,

"I just beat IYO SKY, someone I consider probably one of the best in the world. I've beaten her, and now I'm going to the Queen of the Ring finals. What a night," Valkyria said.

Valkyria was then asked to comment on how much confidence defeating IYO SKY gave her heading into the finals.

"So much confidence. I don't know how I'm gonna get the job done. Maybe, just maybe, I've been watching IYO for such a long time. Maybe she underestimated me just because I'm new around here. All I can say is, Bianca Belair, Nia, whoever it is, I hope they don't make the same mistake," Valkyria said.
