In a recent interview with TalkSport, Lyra Valkyria credited her fellow countrywoman, Becky Lynch being a major influence in deciding to pursue professional wrestling as her career. She shared how watching Lynch’s early performances, including the infamous Irish dancing debut, made her realize that someone from Ireland could become a superstar in pro wrestling.
“She’s been massively influential to me. She was the reason I started. Just seeing her doing her Irish dancing that she’s now very vocally very ashamed of! Honestly, seeing her do that made me realize: ‘Irish person, oh my God, how did she get there?”
