Lyra Valkyria is ready to take on anyone.
On the January 13th episode of WWE Raw, Lyra Valkyria defeated Dakota Kai in the finals of the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship Tournament to become the inaugural champion and win her first title on the main roster.
In a digital exclusive, Lyra Valkyria commented on her win.
“I did it. I did that. I got drafted to Monday Night Raw, I worked my way through an entire tournament of women. I am the first-ever [Women’s Intercontinental Champion]. I have dreamed about making a moment like this, carving out of own little piece of history. There’s only ever one first-ever. My name is now in the history books. I’m the Women’s Intercontinental Champion," Valkyria said.
Valkyria was then asked to comment on what kind of champion fans could expect her to be. She emphasized that she wanted the title to represent being the best in the ring. Valkyria also stated that she was ready to take on anyone.
“Being the Intercontinental Champion has always meant that you are the best when it comes to what happens between those ropes. That’s what I want this championship to mean, being the absolute best when it comes to the ring. That means that I am shaping what that looks like, what it looks like for the Women’s Division as the Women’s Intercontinental Champion. So what that means is I’m prepared to take on absolutely anyone. To be the champion at a time when, and I say this from the bottom of my heart, the women’s division right now is the best that it has ever been, ever, so I’m prepared for any challenger, anytime. It’s Rumble season, it’s ’Mania season. People are as hungry as they’ve ever been. I’m ready for anything. I’m ready to start my reign as the Women’s Intercontinental Champion," Valkyria said.
