Lyra Valkyria: I Have To Hand It To Bayley, She Was Pretty Strong

Lyra Valkyria says she has to hand it to Bayley that she used to be pretty strong, but isn’t sure where that side of her went.

Valkyria has spent the last month or so as a heel on the WWE roster and has stated that she is the reason Bayley will not come back to WWE after defeating her at the recent WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event show in New York. Despite her emphatic claims that Bayley will not be back, Lyra has continued to fire shots in her direction, all the while looking to re-capture the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championships.

While speaking to The Sportster’s Adam Barnard in a recent interview, Lyra Valkyria was asked who the strongest wrestler she’s ever faced is.

“I have to hand it to her. She was pretty strong, so it’s kind of crazy that I just, like, took her out… Bayley, she used to be strong. Then, like, the whole, I don’t know what happened the last year. She was strong, and then just whatever happened, you know, she went a bit (makes noise).”

Elsewhere in another recent interview, Lyra spoke about Sol Ruca not being mentally able to handle her WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship loss. You can read more about that here.
