Lyra Valkyria shocked the world when she defeated Becky Lynch to win the WWE NXT Women’s Championship last October.
While speaking to TV Insider, the newly called-up RAW Superstar spoke about looking up to Lynch. She said,
“I only met her a little down the line in my career. It has been so incredible to have that person to look toward who grew up down the road from me. An Irish girl who has come so far is just crazy. To come from a place like Ireland, a lot of people don’t have that person they can look up to. So to see what is possible through her and how far one can go is incredible.”
Valkyria also spoke about the advice she received from the current WWE Women’s World Champion. She stated,
“She told me to just be myself and have a lot of trust in what I bring, and I think it’s so clear she has been herself her entire career. That is what has taken her so far. I find that incredibly motivating.”
