The second bout took place between Banks and Charlotte Flair at the Roadblock event in 2016.

While speaking to Denise Salcedo for a new interview, Valkyria said that she’d be really proud of herself if she got to compete in an Iron Woman match.

“Obviously, I want to be the champion. That would be amazing. But sometimes I think about what would I absolutely love? I think something hit me the other day, I was like, I’d love to do something like an Iron Woman or something like that. I feel like that would be the ultimate trust, and you think about the Bayley and the Sasha [Banks] incredible one that they had, and I’d love to have something like that. I think I’d be really, really proud of that in my career if I got to do something like that."

When asked about a potential opponent, Valkyria named IYO SKY.

“Against IYO [SKY] would be amazing. She’s amazing. I’ve been watching her since long before I ever even came to WWE. She’s so experienced, and working with her is just amazing.”
