Lyra Valkyria says her NXT Women's Championship victory was beyond her wildest dreams.
On the October 24 episode of WWE NXT, Lyra Valkyria scored a major victory as she defeated Becky Lynch to win the NXT Women's Championship. In doing so, she won the first title of her WWE career.
Speaking with Irish Mirror, Lyra Valkyria discussed her title win.
"It definitely feels like the payoff after years of the grind. I have imagined this so many different ways. The things that you think about are who would I beat? How would I do it? What would I say after? How would that feel holding that title up? What would I be thinking? It’s like an out-of-body experience because all the times I imagined that and then when it happened it’s just sheer shock so I’m still processing," Valkyria said.
Valkyria continued by noting that she imagined her crowning moment plenty of times, but she never thought it would come against Lynch, someone she has looked up to for years. The new champion stated that the picture was so perfect she couldn't have painted it herself.
"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," Valkyria said.
Moving forward, Valkyria briefly noted that main-eventing NXT is special, but her next goal on the horizon is headlining a Premium Live Event.
