A WWE star has issued her first comments following a recent major victory over ‘The Man’ Becky Lynch.
In the main event of NXT Halloween Havoc night one, Lyra Valkyria dethroned Becky Lynch for the NXT Women’s Championship, defeating her fellow Irelander in something of a clash of generations.
Given Lynch’s Hall of Fame worthy career the result is obviously a massive one for rising star Valkyria, which explains why she was almost lost for words when WWE caught up with the new champion following her big win.
Valkyria said:
“It doesn’t feel real. I really feel like I can’t put it into words, because when I was out there, it felt like time was standing still and everything connected.
“It just felt like everything I’ve worked for, for nine years now, all came together.
“And I felt on top of the world because it felt like no decision I’ve ever made has been bad because it all led to this. I think that I would live my entire life again just to feel what I felt holding this title up out there.
“And I think in what we do, we would work our whole careers in the hopes of feeling what I feel right now even once.
“And I think I’ll be living in that moment for another nine years, because I can’t explain how good it feels right now to be your NXT Women’s Champion.”
