Lyra Valkyria emotionally comments on winning the NXT Women’s Championship.

In the main event of NXT Halloween Havoc Night One on October 24, Valkyria defeated Becky Lynch to win the NXT Women’s Championship. In doing so, she won her first title in WWE by beating one of the company’s top stars.

In an NXT Digital Exclusive, Lyra Valkyria was asked to describe what her victory meant to her.

“It doesn’t feel real. 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. 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,” Valkyria said.

After her loss, Becky Lynch said the future is in good hands. More information is available here.
