While speaking to Cathy Kelley in an interview prior to Money In The Bank, Lyra was asked about the last year, noting that she feels she has had a perfect year since she was called up to the WWE main roster.

"I've had the perfect year. Made history, WrestleMania, dreams came true. It's just so crazy to me that the one thing that cast a shadow on all these dreams is that my friendship with Becky just completely blew up in my face. I always gave Becky the credit for being the inspiration, for being the reason that I wanted to become who I am. I have to stop saying that now because everything I thought she was was a lie. She was shadows and smoke this whole time, and all I can do now is step up and be everything that she's not."

Elsewhere in another interview, Lyra spoke about fans viewing her match with Becky Lynch at WWE Backlash as the match of the night. You can read more about that here.
