Wrestler Profile

Lyra Valkyria

Lyra Valkyria is Ireland's next great wrestling export — a Finn Balor-trained aerialist whose falcon-themed presentation and preternatural poise made her NXT's standout woman of her class and Becky Lynch's chosen WrestleMania-weekend opponent.

Her NXT Women's Championship reign included acclaimed defenses and the distinction of dethroning Becky Lynch's momentum in a mentor-student classic. On the main roster, she became the inaugural Women's Intercontinental Champion, adding gold to growing acclaim.

Composed beyond her years and improving quarterly, Valkyria profiles as a future world champion with a decade of prime ahead. WrestleRanks voters rank her on certainty: the flight path only points up.
