Call Guinness, call Ripley’s, call your wrestling-loving grandma—Lyra Valkyria is STILL the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion!
Just 50 days into her historic reign, Valkyria found herself locked in a dogfight with Ivy Nile, aka The Pitbull, aka the woman built like she was sculpted out of granite by an angry Norse god. And despite walking in confident, Valkyria nearly left in a wheelchair.
Valkyria vs. Nile: A Battle of Brains vs. Brawn
The bell rang, and Valkyria went full hyper-speed mode, throwing everything but the production crew at Nile. But just when it seemed like Lyra might overwhelm her, Nile cracked her jaw with a nasty right hook, sending a message that this wasn’t going to be an easy night.
That’s when Nile decided to turn into a one-woman wrecking crew, targeting Valkyria’s knee like she was trying to get a bounty from an insurance fraud scheme. Valkyria grimaced, hobbled, and struggled to land pin attempts. Things got even worse when Nile locked in a brutal ankle lock, twisting Lyra’s leg like she was trying to pop the cap off a stubborn soda bottle.
But champions don’t fold—they ADAPT.
A Helluva Mistake, A Nightwing Finish
Nile went for the Helluva Kick, but Valkyria sidestepped like she was dodging taxes, causing Nile’s foot to get caught on the top turnbuckle. That was all the opening Valkyria needed—she swooped in, hit the Nightwing, and sent Nile packing with an L.
That’s two successful defenses for Valkyria, and now the only question is: who’s next? With Raw stacking title matches like a championship buffet, there’s no telling who might come for her gold. But one thing’s for sure—if they want the belt, they better bring an ice pack for their knees.
