Lyra Valkyria eager to explore AAA’s wrestling style
Lyra Valkyria is eager to crossover and compete on AAA just like Bayley. She further discussed interest in the John Cena Classic and already has a dream opponent set.
In an interview with Soundsphere, Valkyria expressed interest to participate in the John Cena Classic and indicated at potentially squaring off against Kelani Jordan.
“Especially with all the talent, like you just said in NXT, you know, I feel like it just could be anyone’s chance to really make themselves the next big thing. So I’m really excited for this tournament, and to see who’s going to, like, stand out, and who’s going to step up.”
“I crossed over with time in NXT with Kelani Jordan… we never, we never crossed paths in the ring on NXT, but we got in the ring a lot together in the Performance Center.I’ve always thought she had such a fantastic work ethic, and she’s very cool… I want to see if she stepped up. I’d love to see what she’s got, if I was able to choose anyone.”
Valkyria further cited interest to compete in Lucha Libre AAA. She defined it as an entirely different experience and a new element to wrestling which she would like to be a part of.
“I’ve never been to Mexico, so I feel like, oh, it’s a whole new world. The style over there… it’s such a huge element of wrestling that I haven’t even touched.”
John Cena announced the special event for new and established WWE talent at Backlash.
Meanwhile, Valkyria and Bayley have been pursuing the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles. Bayley made her AAA debut in March in response to Flammer’s open challenge for the AAA Reina de Reinas Championship.
