Becky Lynch, the former NXT Women’s Champion, recently expressed her immense pride in her reign as champion, which came to an end this Tuesday at NXT Halloween Havoc Night One.
After holding the title for over a month, Becky Lynch lost to Lyra Valkyria in the main event of the show. Reflecting on her time as champion, Lynch took to Instagram to share her thoughts. She mentioned the opportunities she had to wrestle against talented newcomers and participate in open challenges on Raw. Lynch also emphasised her role as a catalyst for highlighting the wealth of hungry talent on the roster.
The NbeXT era has come to an end. I am immensely proud of my run as NXT women’s champion. From getting to step in the ring with some of the finest up-and-comers to open challenges on Raw and being a catalyst for highlighting the wealth of hungry talent we have on our roster.
Lynch acknowledged Lyra Valkyria‘s talent, referring to her as the “real deal” and predicting a bright future for her in the wrestling industry. This match between Lynch and Valkyria was notable not only because it marked the end of Lynch’s first-ever NXT Women’s Championship reign but also because it was the first time two Irish women competed for a WWE championship.
