Lyra Valkyria isn’t just having a solid year—she’s building a legacy. After winning the Women’s Intercontinental Championship and going toe-to-toe with Becky Lynch, Valkyria’s star power is only rising. Now, sources inside WWE say the company has serious plans for her going into 2026.
According to a report from BodySlam.net, Valkyria is being positioned as a central figure in WWE’s future, especially in the women’s division.
“Sources indicate that there are big plans expected for Lyra Valkyria heading into 2026. Valkyria is viewed as a big piece in the women’s division for the future.”
That future is already taking shape on Monday Night RAW. Valkyria is in the middle of a fast-developing angle involving Bayley, Roxanne Perez, and Raquel Rodriguez. Her on-screen feud with Bayley is giving fans something fresh—and WWE execs seem to believe she’s the one to help carry the division forward.
Her rise from NXT standout to RAW regular has been anything but quiet, and WWE’s confidence in her keeps growing. She’s gone from working developmental shows to holding championship gold and holding her own in complex storylines with top-tier talent.
With 2026 already in their sights, WWE sees Lyra Valkyria as one of the stars ready to lead the next era of women’s wrestling. Whether she stays on her current path or chases world title gold next, one thing’s for sure—she’s not going anywhere.
