While speaking to Insight with Chris Van Vliet in a new interview, Lyra joked that Jax 'exploded her ribs' before calling her a beast.

"I was okay. It was tough. The Samoan drops were tougher, yeah, honestly, but rough match. She’s a beast."

Jax would go on to capture the WWE Women's Championship as a result of earning the shot after winning Queen Of The Ring.

Elsewhere in the same interview, Valkyria looked back on tearing her ACL during her time in NXT UK. You can read more about that here.
