Lyra Valkyria reveals what it means for her to be the WWE Women's Intercontinental Champion

Lyra Valkyria reflected on her historic win while speaking to Jackie Redmond on RAW Exclusive. The former NXT star noted that the champion should be the best inside the squared circle.

Valkyria claimed to be ready to face anyone and start her reign as the Women's Intercontinental Champion. She put over the wrestling promotion's women's division, referring to it as the best she had ever been on.

"Being the Intercontinental Champion has always meant that you are the best when it comes to what happens between those ropes. That’s what I want this championship to mean. Being the absolute best when it comes to the ring. That means that I am shaping what that looks like, what it looks like for the Women’s Division as the Women’s Intercontinental Champion. So what that means is I’m prepared to take on absolutely anyone. To be the champion at a time when, and I say this from the bottom of my heart, the women’s division right now is the best that it has ever been, ever, so I’m prepared for any challenger, anytime. It’s Rumble season. It’s ’Mania season. People are as hungry as they’ve ever been. I’m ready for anything. I’m ready to start my reign as the Women’s Intercontinental Champion," she said.
