Lyra Valkyria looks back on when she found out about her first WWE main roster title win.
On the January 13th edition of WWE Monday Night RAW, Lyra Valkyria would win the finals of a tournament to crown the first ever WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship, a title that Lyra still holds to this day.
While speaking on Insight With Chris Van Vliet, Lyra was asked about the win, noting that she has gained a lot of confidence due to the title win.
"[It’s brought me] A lot of confidence, it's a big responsibility, and there's a lot of pressure that comes with it. But I think I'm kind of in control once I get in the ring, that's where I'm like, no matter what outside noise there is, I'm completely in control of what I do here. So that's kind of where my power is. No one can take that away."
Valkyria was then asked when she found out about winning the title, noting that she found out the day of her victory.
"I never was a part of that conversation. I just find out on Mondays what I'm doing. I found out the day of. I was never a part of the decision or the conversation. I just showed up to work."
Lyra was finally asked how she felt when she was told she would win the title.
"Amazing. I couldn't believe it. I really couldn't believe it. But things don't hit me when I think they're going to. I always say that it never hits me in the moment. It hit me when I was driving home and taking my bags out of the car on the Tuesday. The title is just sitting in my bag, the zip opens, and I'm like, Oh yeah, that's the Intercontinental Championship. I won that. I brought that home. That's when it hits me."
Lyra remains the WWE Women's Intercontinental Champion, last retaining the title at WWE Backlash vs Becky Lynch.
Elsewhere in the same interview, Lyra spoke about tearing her ACL during her time in NXT UK. You can read more about that here.
