Lyra Valkyria is one of the newest members of the women’s Raw roster. She along with Kiana James and Blair Davenport were called up during the recent WWE Draft. Davenport going to SmackDown.
While still in NXT, Valkyria won the NXT Women’s Title from the highly decorated veteran Becky Lynch. Valkyria now sees herself on Raw where Lynch is the current Women’s World Champion.
While speaking with TV Insider, Valkyria shared the beat advice Lynch has given her.
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.
She also shared the bond they have by saying:
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 will make her official Raw in-ring debut on tonight’s Raw facing Asuka. The winner moves forward in the Queen of the Ring tournament.
