Lyra Valkyria is your new NXT Women's Champion.
The NXT Superstar wrapped up night one of WWE NXT Halloween Havoc 2023 on Tuesday night in Orlando, FL. by shocking the world by upsetting Becky Lynch to capture the title.
After the show, Valkyria spoke with WWE.com for a digital exclusive to share her reaction to upsetting her wrestling hero to become the brand new NXT Women's Champion.
"It doesn’t feel real," Valkyria said. "I really feel like I can’t put it into words. 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. 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."
Valkyria continued, "I think that I would live my entire life again just to feel what I felt holding this title up out there. I think in what we do, we would work our whole careers in the hopes of feeling what I feel right now, even once. I think I’ll be living in that moment for another nine years. I can’t explain how good it feels right now to be your NXT Women’s Champion."
Lynch also reacted to the match outcome, writing, "The future is bright," in a quick tweet shared via her official Twitter (X) page. Check out her post below.
The future is bright 🇮🇪
