Nikkita Lyons is one of the most promising female stars in WWE. At one point in time, it looked like Lyons was slated to become the next NXT Women’s Champion. But frequent injuries seem to have put a halt to her championship dreams for now.
At just 22 years old, she has already proven to the wrestling world that she has all the potential to become a champion in the Stamford-based promotion.
Prior to signing with WWE in 2021, Lyons competed in the Women of Wrestling promotion under the ring name Faith The Lioness. She only had a handful of matches. WWE was impressed with her in-ring work at the 2021 Las Vegas Tryouts.
In December of 2021, Lyons made her in-ring debut for WWE on the 205 Live brand. Although she lost to Amari Miller in her debut, she was quickly called up to NXT.
After making her way up to the Black and Gold brand, she held an undefeated streak. She also formed a tag team with Zoey Stark for a short time. But then both stars suffered back-to-back injuries. Thus killing their momentum.
After her initial MCL tear, Lyons returned to action in late 2022. But then earlier this year, she yet again suffered an injury. Currently, the Lioness of NXT is recovering and it seems like she’s closing in on a return any time soon.
Recently, Nikkita Lyons took to Twitter to share her appreciation and love for her loyal fans.
“To the ones who’ve been supporting me throughout my recovery, I FRICKEN LOVE YOU ? live your best life, attack your goals, & ignore the haters. We vibrate in love over here babyyy ?,” Nikkita Lyons tweeted.
