Lyra Valkyria: It Would Have Been Easy For Bayley To Be Bitter Towards Me Last Year, There Was Not An Ounce Of It

Bayley and Lyra Valkyria were set to challenge Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles at WrestleMania 41.

Instead, Bayley was attacked the day before the show, taken out of the match, and replaced by Becky Lynch, who revealed herself to be the attacker after turning on Lyra.

Bayley & Lyra will hopefully be challenging for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles at WrestleMania 42 in a four-team tag match.

Speaking to Rick Ucchino of Sports Illustrated, Lyra expressed her happiness that Bayley is back at Mania.

“She was just so supportive of me at that time, and she’s done so much. You really don’t know the value that Bayley has. Everyone knows she’s a Grand Slam champion. Everyone knows how she is with the fans, she has such a great rapport with everyone publicly, but that doesn’t begin to scrape the surface of what she actually does for the people in the back.

“It’s never to get anything back. She really is the most pure person that I’ve ever met. Even outside of work, she really makes me want to be better as a human being. I felt very guilty last year, even though it was outside both of our control. But looking at how she handled that and how it would’ve been so easy for her to feel bitter towards me, there was just not an ounce of it. Anytime anything like that happens, she’s always still so positive, so encouraging and so helpful to everyone around her.”

Bayley & Lyra will be competing against The Bella Twins (Nikki Bella & Brie Bella), Alexa Bliss & Charlotte Flair, and the Irresistible Forces (Nia Jax & lash Legend).
