Lyra Valkyria is steadily rising the totem pole in WWE, despite being quite new on the main roster. A Hall of Famer was recently asked to provide some advice for her, to which the former had an interesting response.
Lyra made her main roster debut on RAW to save Becky Lynch, who was under attack by Damage CTRL. She was later made a participant in the Queen of the Ring tournament, where she defeated Dakota Kai and then Zoey Stark to advance. Much to a lot of people's surprise, she also took down Iyo Sky in the semi-finals.
In a recent interview with Bill Apter for Sportskeeda, Hall of Famer Madusa was asked to share her thoughts on Lyra Valkyria. She also gave a bit of advice:
"Don't take no for an answer, but respectfully find another way. You know, if you don't like something, ask questions." [3:52 onwards]
