Nikkita Lyons pushed back against WWE fans who are complaining about her gimmick.
WWE NXT’s Nikkita Lyons took to X/Twitter to clap back at some fans who claimed to miss her old character. Lyons was quick to point out the irony, noting that those same fans often complained even during her early days in the company.
Nikkita Lyons went a step further by detailing the personal hurdles she faced during the initial run. Lyons revealed that the period fans are pointing towards was actually defined by her grueling recovery from injury and a messy personal relationship. She also shared several clips from her pre-WWE days as Faith the Lioness in Women of Wrestling (WOW).
““i MiSs ThE oLd nIkKiTa LyOnS” like… y’all were complaining back then too not that i need to explain, but that was post injury with a shtty bf at the time nikkita lmao but we’re not even in that timeline anymore, WE’RE HEALED KEEP UP #NikkitaMultiMedia #DivineFeline. lioness pre-wwe mind you BEEN THE LYONESS BABE,” she posted.
Nikkita Lyons made her WWE debut in 2021. She’s had an interesting run so far, but faced setbacks due to recurring knee injuries. In January, she returned to NXT as a spiritual guru character and recently became a contestant on WWE LFG Season 3. Her most recent match took place on last night’s episode of NXT, where she lost to a debuting Lizzy Rain.
