Queen of the Ring Tournament: Lyra Valkyria vs. Zoey Stark

Former NXT women’s champion Lyra Valkyria made it 2-0 on the main roster by defeating Zoey Stark in the quarterfinal round Monday night.

Tested by the intense and aggressive Stark, The Valkyrie absorbed everything thrown at her and countered the Z-360. She finished her opponent with the Nightwing for an impressive pinfall victory.

Valkyria continues to look like a star, a testament to her hard work and the connection she forged with the audience during her time in NXT. This was a great example of how her style lends itself to strong matches against opponents with different styles and backgrounds.

She now turns her attention to Iyo Sky and a match that should be extraordinary.
