A popular WWE star made her return to the ring after nine months. She also picked up a major win.

Nikkita Lyons is one of the most athletically gifted stars on the NXT roster. Her performances in the ring have been impressive, and she has often been touted as the future of the NXT women's division.

However, Lyons' career has been plagued by injury which has held her back from reaching her full potential. After spending nine months on the shelf, Nikkita Lyons made her televised return tonight to face Lola Vice. Lyons last competed against Blair Davenport on the January 9 episode of WWE NXT.

Both women were putting on a hard-fought battle in the ring when Jaida Parker interrupted the match and attacked Lola Vice. Parker and Vice have been feuding ever since they teamed up to face Fatal Influence.

Following the interference, Nikkita Lyons picked up the win with a splash on Lola Vice. The latter didn't look happy about the interference. As far as wins go, Lyons hasn't lost since the December 13 episode of WWE NXT.

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.
