On the latest episode of Monday Night RAW, Lyra Valkyria, a former NXT Women’s Champion, expressed her emotions after being drafted to the red brand.
The wrestler shared her thoughts on this significant career move during an interview at the WWE Performance Center.
Following last Friday’s WWE SmackDown draft picks, which included stars like Carmelo Hayes and Kiana James, RAW announced Ilja Dragunov’s move to their roster, while Blair Davenport was drafted to SmackDown.
Upon learning of her draft to RAW, Valkyria became visibly emotional, expressing her surprise and gratitude.
She emphasized her readiness to make her mark on the Monday night scene, declaring her intention to conquer the RAW women’s division after previously triumphing in NXT as a Women’s Champion.
Reflecting on her journey, Valkyria thanked her colleagues and acknowledged the significance of this transition from NXT to RAW.
She conveyed her eagerness to bring her championship experience and prowess to the RAW locker room, signaling her determination to excel on Monday nights.
As the changes from the 2024 WWE Draft take effect next week, Valkyria, currently still a member of the NXT roster, is expected to make her presence felt in the upcoming episodes of the brand.
