Lyra Valkyria returned on the July 13, 2026, episode of WWE RAW, showing off a creepy new look that immediately told fans she was no longer the same person.
Following her betrayal of Bayley, Valkyria came back with a completely different appearance and attitude that hinted at a much darker side. It wasn’t just a new outfit or hairstyle. Her entrance, expressions, and promo all showed that WWE is taking her character in a much more sinister direction.
Lyra Valkyria returns on RAW with a creepy new look
The old Lyra Valkyria was nowhere to be seen.
She no longer had her signature purple hair or colorful ring gear. Instead, she walked onto the stage looking almost unrecognizable.
Her hair was now long, dark, and messy, with bright blue streaks running through it. Loose strands covered parts of her face. She wore a loose gray sweater that looked ripped, worn out, and damaged in several places. Instead of looking like a wrestler, she looked like a stranger picked from the street.
The entrance also helped sell the new character. The arena was filled with blue lights, thick fog covered the stage, and lightning effects flashed throughout her entrance.
Her pale face and cold stare added even more to the eerie look. At first, she barely looked at Bayley. She avoided eye contact and stayed silent while Bayley kept trying to make her talk.
Instead of making peace, Valkyria demanded that Bayley apologize to her. She accused Bayley of holding her back for the past year and mocked her for always acting like the victim. Valkyria said she had also been betrayed in the past but never looked for sympathy.
Valkyria claimed every compliment she ever gave Bayley was fake. She called Bayley a “doormat,” said she was never a real locker room leader, and even labeled her “the worst of the Four Horsewomen.”
Bayley finally answered back.
She reminded Valkyria of everything she had accomplished in WWE. Bayley then revealed she had spoken to Adam Pearce and secured a match against Valkyria at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
As Bayley turned to leave, Valkyria attacked her from behind again.
Bayley saw it coming at first, but Valkyria eventually took control. She hit Bayley with brutal face stomps before finishing her off with a Bayley-to-Belly suplex.
