Why Lyra Valkyria Refuses to Rewatch WrestleMania Match

Lyra Valkyria isn’t your typical wrestling star. After claiming sidekick status at WrestleMania 41, she’s doubled down on her own narrative — and she’ll never watch that defining match again.

During a chat with Brad Gilmore, Lyra revealed she’d just watched her night‑to‑remember once — and that’s it. She’s protecting the moment.

“Um, yes, but nothing will ever change. Like I—I watched it once and that’s it. I’ll never—I’ll never watch it again because I wanted to live in my memory the way it—the way it happened for me.”

That decision goes against the grain. Most Superstars rewatch big shows to dissect mistakes or relive glory, but Lyra wants to preserve WrestleMania as a pure memory. And it was a milestone: she teamed with Becky Lynch to challenge Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez for the Women’s Tag Team Titles. With Bayley sidelined, Lynch stepped in as her partner — and the duo struck gold, defeating Morgan & Rodriguez to capture tag team glory.

That surprise victory and emotional atmosphere defined Night 2. Lyra walked away a champion — with a moment she won’t dare rewatch for fear of tarnishing it.

Lyra Valkyria’s choice to skip the replay of her WrestleMania match adds to the mystique and emotional depth to her rise. Have you ever chosen to preserve a special moment by refusing to revisit it?
