In an interview with TVInsider, Lyra Valkyria spoke about her bond with Becky Lynch and commented on what advice she got from the WWE Women’s World Champion. Here are highlights:
On the bond she has with Lynch: “I only met her a little down the line in my career. It has been so incredible to have that person to look toward who grew up down the road from me. An Irish girl who has come so far is just crazy. To come from a place like Ireland, a lot of people don’t have that person they can look up to. So to see what is possible through her and how far one can go is incredible.”
On advice Lynch gave her: “She told me to just be myself and have a lot of trust in what I bring, and I think it’s so clear she has been herself her entire career. That is what has taken her so far. I find that incredibly motivating.”
On the state of the WWE women’s division: “The women’s division is thriving across the board. To see Becky, Bayley, and Charlotte Flair. Any of those women I would absolutely die for an opportunity at any of them.”
