In this interview Lyra Valkyria talks about working WrestleMania this year: “WrestleMania was just under a year after I moved to Raw, which is crazy. Becky Lynch wrestled Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania last year, and I was in the stands watching that. I was still in NXT, so I was in the NXT box watching that match, thinking, ‘How do I get there?’, because you’re always thinking about the next thing. I didn’t think it would be the following year! To go from being NXT Women’s Champion, and then to be tag teaming with Becky against Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez – two other massive women’s stars – it’s just been so incredible! The rise has been so quick, it’s taken me to places I couldn’t have even imagined. It feels like I’m setting my own ceiling.”
