Monday, Lyra Valkyria took on considered one of her hardest challenges on the principle roster but within the type of former WWE Ladies’s Champion and predominant occasion scene frequenter IYO SKY. The 2 of them clashed within the semifinals of the inaugural Ladies’s Intercontinental Championship event, and Eire’s best was put up towards a lady who many take into account the head of Japanese wrestling, if not wrestling solely. With SKY’s immense expertise, the probabilities of Valkyria dropping out within the event semifinals had been excessive.
After a hard-fought match filled with nice wrestling, Valkyria propped herself over SKY and pinned “The Genius of the Sky” for one, two, three. Valkyria bested all odds to beat a former world champion to progress to the event finals. She unfold her wings to soar via the SKY, in direction of victory.
All the pieces about this match was nice. SKY is, as beforehand talked about, top-of-the-line feminine wrestlers the world has to supply, and Valkyria is not lagging far behind within the in-ring approach class. Issues had been a bit awkward between them at first, however issues rapidly smoothed out between them as each of them spared no expense in making the opposite lady appear to be 100 bucks. Houston was so behind each girls, and their match was only a nice piece of girls’s tv wrestling.
The one gripe I’ve with this match is the poor end. In concept, Valkyria’s loopy pin appears cool and is a testomony to her experience in technical wrestling. I am not the largest fan of shock pins, however even when I used to be, this one was type of messy. That messiness value the match its climatic immersion. By the top of a match, we’re speculated to be on the fringe of our seats, hearts in our throats, with our disbelief absolutely suspended so we are able to savor that last one, two, three. Nonetheless, Valkyria’s messy pop-up pin took the wind out of my sails, prompted my coronary heart to calm down into my chest, and brought about me to focus, briefly, on the messiness of the pin.
Nonetheless, I am greater than happy with the outcomes of this match. SKY was a favourite going into this for positive — and I will be lifeless within the floor earlier than I complain a few SKY victory — however Valkyria was the best option to go along with her. Very similar to the Ladies’s United States Championship, this mid-card title is ready as much as be a pathway for “Uncooked” girls to raise their wrestling sport. SKY has frequented the principle occasion scene, however Valkyria hasn’t had that chance within the limelight simply but. There’s additionally some extent to be made about how odd a Harm CTRL infighting arc would’ve been. No faction lasts ceaselessly, however there isn’t any cause to separate Harm CTRL up now, particularly over a brand-new midcard title.
Between the logic of placing Valkyria over and the general high quality of the match itself, there may be hardly something to be upset in. Dakota Kai and Lyra Valkyria might be a contest to recollect.
