Nikkita Lyons on the reaction she received following her viral pinfall picture
In a previous interview with WWE Espanol, Nikkita Lyons spoke about the incredible backstage reception she received following her viral pinfall attempt.
She mentioned she was grateful for the support she received from her peers. Lyons said:
"I was super grateful and keeping that in mind that people close to me came to support me. That means a lot. After, I talked to my coaches and got all that going. People in the back were telling me great job. I just kind of sat there and continued to watch the show. I didn't get out of my gear until the show was over. 'I don't even want to go to the locker room, I want to bask in this moment.' It was beautiful."
As of now, Lyons is feuding with Lash Legend on NXT 2.0, and the two women have taken multiple shots at each other on social media in recent weeks. It remains to be seen when the duo finally crosses paths inside a WWE ring.
Lyons is yet to have another match in the developmental brand since her debut. However, she has previously competed twice on 205 Live. The star is currently 2-1 in WWE with her only loss coming against Amari Miller on a taping of the aforementioned show.
