Ex-WWE writer slams Triple H over Lyra Valkyria's recent booking

Lyra Valkyria has competed in two matches after winning the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship, the Women's Royal Rumble Match, and the Elimination Chamber Qualifying match. While she was eliminated early from the 30-woman bout with zero eliminations against her name, Lyra lost to Bayley last week on RAW in the qualifier.

On The Coach & Bro Show, former head writer for the wrestling promotion Vince Russo slammed Triple H for Valkyria's dismal booking. The 64-year-old pointed out that the Women's Intercontinental Champion suffered the loss even before a successful title defense.

"Imagine this happening on Vince's time, okay? Lyra Valkyria wins the Intercontinental Title, okay? Before she ever has a successful title defense, before there's a title defense, she has a match with Bayley to be in the Elimination Chamber, and she loses. They didn't even give her one successful title [defense], and this guy's gonna tell me Triple H's a good [writer]? Are you out of your frea*ing bird," Russo said. [From 49:00 -to 49:32]

With the Elimination Chamber set to air live from the Rogers Centre in Toronto in less than two weeks, Lyra Valkyria could have her first title defense at the premium live event. It remains to be seen how long her first main roster championship reign will last.
