Modified Sep 04, 2024 01:33 GMT

Lyra Valkyria just made her return to NXT. She showed up to help her former rival from a two-on-one attack on the developmental brand.

When Tatum Paxley returned to NXT, she started stalking Lyra Valkyria and tried to befriend her. She helped out Lyra during her matches and attacked anyone who got in her way. However, Tatum turned on Lyra after she lost the NXT Women's Championship, thus putting an end to their friendship.

While Valkyria moved onto RAW, Tatum Paxley continued her stalking ways and tried to align herself with Wendy Choo. However, Wendy attacked her from behind a couple of weeks ago. This weekend on NXT No Mercy, Tatum returned the favor and assaulted Wendy Choo from behind.

Tonight on WWE NXT, Paxley went one-on-one against TNA wrestler Rosemary. After a hard-fought battle, Paxley picked up the win. This didn't sit well with Wendy Choo and she attacked Paxley following the match. Before things could get worse, Lyra made her return to NXT and chased away Wendy Choo and Rosemary. Tatum was excited to see her former friend and they hugged each other in the ring.

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker.
