In the realm of WWE, where superstar stories are often as riveting as their in-ring battles, the rise of Lyra Valkyria stands out as a testament to dedication, talent, and unexpected mentorship. WWE, with its global reach, represents a tapestry of nations. And Ireland proudly boasts two female superstars who’ve captured the imagination of fans worldwide. The legendary Becky Lynch, a former RAW & SmackDown Women’s Champion, and the rising star, Lyra Valkyria. They have shared more than a homeland; they’ve shared an inspiring journey.
As avid wrestling enthusiasts know, Becky Lynch has carried the Irish flag in WWE for nearly a decade. Becoming a household name with her charisma and wrestling prowess. Lyra Valkyria, however, is a more recent addition to the scene. While many fans speculate that Lyra might have been molded by The Man herself, the truth is quite different. Lyra’s wrestling journey began while Becky was making her own strides in the NXT system.
Their paths would cross, though, as destiny often has its way in the world of WWE. A recently released video package from WWE showcased a heartwarming moment in 2018 when The Man lent a helping hand to Valkyria. Becky’s mentorship, while unofficial, became a source of inspiration for Lyra over the years.
This mentorship grew more pronounced after Lyra joined World Wrestling Entertainment via the NXT UK brand. Today, she shines brightly in NXT, a testament to the positive impact of Becky’s guidance.
Their unique mentor-mentee relationship reached its zenith at WWE NXT Halloween Havoc. It will be an event that will be etched in WWE history for years to come. The culmination of their bond unfolded in the main event, where Becky Lynch put her coveted NXT Women’s Championship on the line against Lyra.

Before this historic bout, The Man had successfully defended her title against formidable opponents like Tiffany Stratton, Natalya, Tegan Nox, and Indi Hartwell. Her reign was an electrifying spectacle, but it concluded with a surprising turn of events at Halloween Havoc.
In a hard-fought match, The Man was pinned by her protégé, Lyra Valkyria. The emotion on Lyra’s face was palpable as she celebrated her victory over a mentor who’s destined for the WWE Hall of Fame. And, true to her character, Becky Lynch graciously paid tribute to Lyra in a moment of mutual respect post-match.
This contest not only marked the first showdown between these two Irish powerhouses in a WWE ring but also their first battle for a championship. It was a historic moment as two Irish women headlined a WWE-produced show, showcasing their remarkable journey from Ireland to the global stage of professional wrestling.
As the dust settles on this momentous victory, the WWE Universe eagerly awaits what the future holds for these two incredible Irish talents. The enigmatic presence of Jade Cargill watching the bout hints at potential future storylines. Will she set her sights on Becky Lynch, or perhaps, the NXT Women’s Championship itself? The only certainty is that WWE fans are in for a thrilling ride as the next chapter of this captivating mentorship story unfolds.
