Lyra Valkyria Shares Keys to Success in Professional Wrestling

ST. LOUIS, Mo. — During WrestleMania media day, WWE star Lyra Valkyria shared her thoughts on achieving success in professional wrestling. A former NXT Women’s Champion and WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion, Valkyria spoke about the importance of consistency and self-awareness in the sport.

“I think it’s consistency. But also just self-awareness. Knowing what you are good at, what you are not, and not comparing your journey to anyone else’s journey,” Valkyria explained. She emphasized that wrestling differs significantly from other sports, where athletes simply accumulate wins. “In wrestling, it’s so crazy, unpredictable… You could feel like you’re going nowhere, and then something massive could happen. You just don’t know,” she added.

Valkyria highlighted the necessity of believing in oneself, even during tough times. “And I know people say it’s very like… You know, people always say, ‘Believe in yourself.’ But you really, really do have to. Even when it gets bad in wrestling,” she said.

At WrestleMania 41, Valkyria won the WWE Women’s Tag Team titles alongside her partner. This alliance formed after Bayley was attacked backstage, prompting Valkyria to find a new partner for the event. However, their reign was short-lived as they lost the titles on RAW the following night, leading to tension between Valkyria and her partner.

The wrestling community has been buzzing about Valkyria’s insights, with many fans echoing her sentiments on the unpredictable nature of the sport. Discussions continue around her journey and future in WWE.
