Lyra Valkyria “Overwhelmed” After SummerSlam Match: “I Let Myself Down”

Lyra Valkyria’s Women’s Intercontinental Championship match against Becky Lynch at SummerSlam was a career-defining opportunity, but the young star admits she struggled with the pressure. In Episode 5 of WWE: Unreal Season 2, Valkyria opened up about her mindset following the high-profile bout.

“I Let Myself Down”

Despite the praise the match received from fans, Valkyria revealed she was her own harshest critic in the immediate aftermath.

“I want to be the person that people say ‘I absolutely loved wrestling her. She gave me my best match ever.’ And I felt like I let myself down or didn’t rise to meet the occasion. I didn’t even want to go back up to Gorilla. I felt so overwhelmed.”

The candid admission highlights the intense pressure placed on the next generation of talent as they step into the ring with legends like “The Man.”
