Lyra Valkyria created history at WWE NXT Halloween Havoc. At the event, Valkyria was scheduled to face Becky Lynch for the NXT Women's Championship. Going into the match, Lynch was a favorite due to the amount of title defenses she racked as the brand's women's champion.
However, at Halloween Havoc, Valkyria created history by beating Lynch to win the championship. The 26-year-old's performance was acknowledged by her Irish counterpart, who herself handed over the belt to Valkyria. Since winning the title, many have been wondering who Lyra Valkyria will face next.
While there are many possibilities, WWE might have already teased the champion's fate. There is a huge chance Lyra Valkyria could defend her NXT Women's Championship against Jade Cargill. The reason behind it can be attributed to an interview Valkyria gave some days ago.
During the interview, the 26-year-old expressed a strong desire to face Cargill. Now that Valkyria has won the belt, she can fulfill her dream of facing Jade. Also, for Cargill, a move to NXT would be good since WWE is looking to push the brand as an equal to RAW and SmackDown.

Wrestling veteran says WWE Star Jade Cargill must beat Lyra Valkyria
It has been a month since Jade Cargill signed with WWE. However, since then, the 31-year-old is yet to make her in-ring debut. While many believe the former AEW superstar must make her debut on either RAW or Smackdown, wrestling veteran Bill Apter believes Cargill must go to NXT.
During an episode of Sportskeeda's UNSkripted, Apter spoke about the probability of a feud between Jade Cargill and Lyra Valkyria. The senior wrestling journalist also added that Cargill could beat Valkyria to win her first belt in the Stamford-based promotion. Bill Apter said:
"Perhaps, Jade now envisions some of this change that Lyra Valkyria is the new champion, and she's a rookie, and maybe they are gonna build a match with Jade against her, and this becoming Jade's first title in the WWE Universe." [From 10:03 - 10:25]
