Fast forward to this week's show, and Lyra seemed highly impressive in her debut match. The contest started with her delivering a series of big moves, including an arm drag, step-up enziguri, and dropkick.
Miller also had her moments in the match when she delivered a big senton. But Valkyria quickly got back on track and delivered a big Frog Splash for the three-count and the win.
For those unaware, Lyra Valkyria was formerly known as Aofie Valkyrie. She primarily wrestled for WWE's NXT UK brand in 2020 and 2021 before it was shut down.
