Lyra Valkyria's Heel Turn Gains Fan Support Amid Limited TV Appearances

WWE star Lyra Valkyria debuted her unhinged heel character on June 22, 2026, during an episode of WWE Raw, where she attacked Bayley after a tag team match against Paige and Brie Bella.

Since her heel turn, Lyra has displayed a more aggressive demeanor, yet fans have expressed dissatisfaction with her limited appearances on television. Most of her recent segments have occurred during commercial breaks or in backstage promos, with a notable match on WWE Main Event against Jaida Parker.

This week, Lyra confronted Sol Ruca and Iyo Sky backstage, questioning Ruca's entitlement to a Women’s Intercontinental title match. While many fans appreciate her new character, they are frustrated with WWE's decision to minimize her screen time and storyline development.
