WWE Star Comments On Bittersweet WrestleMania 41 Moment

WWE

A current WWE champion has opened up on a bittersweet moment from WrestleMania 41 last month in Las Vegas.

Becky Lynch made her return to WWE television after almost a year away back at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas last month, when she was revealed as the tag team partner of Lyra Valkyria for her Women’s Tag Team Championship match with Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez.

Lyra was originally set to team up with Bayley against Liv and Raquel on the show, but Bayley was attacked prior to the match, leaving Lyra to need a partner to replace her, which saw Becky return.

Speaking about the moment on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Lyra admitted that she was a little sad for Bayley, and the moment coming at her expense.

She said:

“It came at the expense of Bayley, which is a bit sad because we clicked so well as a tag team. So it was genuinely hard to have my Mania moment come at an expense.

“Becky is a big part of the reason I started wrestling. But it was the era of the four horsewomen in NXT. It wasn’t just Becky; Bayley was a massive influence as well. So it did kind of taint how great it was knowing it was coming at her expense.”

Becky would turn on Lyra the following night on Raw, leading to Liv and Raquel regaining the Women’s Tag Team Championship.

Lyra and Becky faced off in singles action at WWE Backlash, with Lyra picking up the victory to retain the Women’s Intercontinental Championship.
