Who is upcoming WWE debutant Lyra Valkyria?

This week on NXT, WWE hyped up the arrival of Lyra Valkyria. She will be debuting on the show very soon, with the company dropping teasers promoting her appearance.

The aforementioned name is the new ring moniker of Aoife Valkyrie. She signed with WWE in 2020 and was part of NXT UK until it disbanded. Her last appearance on the show came on August 26, 2022.

The vignette aired during the second hour of this week's episode of NXT. We are looking forward to seeing what Valkyria brings to the table. Although she is yet to win a championship in WWE, she has a stellar record in terms of opponents defeated.

Lyra Valkyria has beaten the likes of Isla Dawn, Nina Samuels, Aliyah, Jessi Kamea, MJ Jenkins, Taynara, and Dani Luna. In fact, she was on a 14-month winning streak until her defeat to Meiko Satomura on the April 29, 2021, episode of NXT UK.
