Lyra Valkyria Breaks Silence on Viral Wardrobe Malfunction at WWE Royal Rumble

Lyra Valkyria had an unforgettable WWE Royal Rumble debut, but not for the reason she expected. The Women’s Intercontinental Champion suffered a wardrobe malfunction mid-match, and the moment quickly went viral. Now, she’s addressing it with humor and confidence.

Appearing on the Battleground Podcast, Valkyria laughed off the incident, proving she’s taking it all in stride.

“Of course, it would be in the Royal Rumble—my biggest show ever. Why not? My top just had to fall off,” she joked. “I’ve never been so happy to be hit in the face.”

The gear mishap happened when Valkyria executed a flawless Fisherman Suplex, only to realize she needed a quick fix mid-move. Despite the unexpected moment, she never lost her composure and continued wrestling like a pro.

“It was completely out of my control, so I just handled it the best way I could,” she said. “You can’t let stuff like that throw you off. At the end of the day, I got to run that ramp as the Women’s Intercontinental Champion—pretty cool moment.”

Fans praised her ability to stay focused despite the wardrobe issue, proving she’s more than ready for the spotlight. With WrestleMania 41 around the corner, Valkyria is keeping her eyes on the prize—and if anything, this viral moment has only made her more of a star.
