WWE Speed: Lyra Valkyria Believes Title Tournament Could Fill WWE Women's Midcard Championship Void (Exclusive)

As Lyra Valkyria, a seasoned gamer and WWE superstar, I can’t help but feel a sense of excitement as the WWE Speed Women’s Championship Tournament is upon us. With my technical style well-suited for this three-minute time limit contest, I’m confident that I can get my opponent’s shoulders on the mat within the allotted time.


The fast-paced WWE series, known as WWE Speed, has recently grown in popularity. Debuting post-WWE WrestleMania 40, this show features male WWE stars competing against each other within three-minute matches. Exclusively streamed on X (previously known as Twitter), WWE Speed represents WWE’s newest venture into digital media, given its extensive reach across various platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram

One competitor aiming for the fresh WWE Speed gold is Lyra Valkyria, a native of Dublin. She will face off against IYO SKY in the initial match of the WWE Speed Women’s Championship Tournament when it begins

When chatting with ComicBook, Valkyria explained that her approach during the three-minute timeframe relies significantly on her mastered technique

Valkyria remarked, she suggests a different way, she suggested a more aggressive hissingle again, there’s an urgency in approach. I believe my strategic play fits this tournament particularly well because I’m quite technical, and swiftly taking down an opponent within three seconds seems to be something I excel at

Valkyrie has plenty of experience with tournament-style matches. In fact, she was once the WWE NXT Women’s Champion and participated in the Queen of the Ring event earlier this year. She managed to defeat Dakota Kai, Zoey Stark, and IYO SKY on her way to the finals. However, her journey ended there when she couldn’t outmatch Nia Jax

Valkyria describes the upcoming WWE Speed Women’s Championship Tournament as distinctly unlike the Queen of the Ring event. In typical scenarios, wrestlers have more time to exhaust their opponents, inflict injuries, or execute signature moves, but this tournament presents a unique mental challenge. The strategy and mindset required are different, making it a completely new game compared to the Queen of the Ring tournament

A fresh chapter begins for #WWESpeed! Today at 12 PM Eastern Time/ 9 AM Pacific Time, exclusively on @X, the first match of the inaugural WWE Speed Women’s Championship Tournament will see @Real_Valkyria go head-to-head with @Iyo_SkyWWE!

The Speed Women’s Title is set to become the fourth female championship on WWE’s main roster. This includes the WWE Women’s Title, the WWE Women’s World Championship, and the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles. There have been whispers that WWE might introduce a mid-level women’s title in the near future, and these murmurs grew louder with the creation of the NXT Women’s North American Championship for their developmental brand

Valkyria expressed her opinion when asked if the Speed Women’s Title on WWE could fill the midcard role gap on the main roster. “Indeed, it will offer a chance for numerous women backstage who aspire to advance. The first-round matches are unpredictable; it might be that some women are better equipped at achieving tasks in just three minutes, and we might witness those who haven’t been in the limelight getting an opportunity to display their abilities.”

Valkyria battles IYO SKY on WWE Speed today, September 4th, at 12 PM ET, airing exclusively on X.
