The newly crowned NXT Women’s Champion Lyra Valkyria returned this week to greet the NXT Universe as a new champion.
Standing in the ring with a “you deserve it chant,” Valkyria addresses her win and gave a nod to her icon Becky Lynch whom she defeated for the gold.
Valkyria further commented on her main event win and credited the fans for making it feel like magic. As she continues to talk about a locker room full of competitors, Raw’s Xia Li makes her way down the steps of the crowd with security by her side trying to stop her. Valkyria wants her to join her in the ring.
As Li enters the ring, Valkyria asks her how she can help her. Li asks the newly crowned champion if she saw what she did to her hero Becky Lynch on Raw last night. For those who may need a refresher, Li took out Lynch with her roundhouse kick preventing her from entering the number one contender Battle Royal. This also banned Li from participating in it herself.
Valkyria said that the attack was purely because Lynch kept telling Li if she wants a championship she should go and win one. Li says she plans to take the NXT Women’s Title before taking out one of the security men. The two then stare down each other and exchange words with Valkyria holding the belt high.
A date for this match has not been announced at this time.
