WWE HAS BIG PLANS FOR THE FUTURE AND THEIR NEW SIGNEE, NIKKITA LYONS!

WWE has big plans for the future and their new signee, Nikkita Lyons!

Women's division standout Nikkita Lyons has been one of WWE NXT 2.0's brightest prospects in recent months. The star player made her debut for the company in February and quickly became popular online thanks to her swagger and incredibly original finishing manoeuvre.

WWE is interested in making Nikkita Lyons the "NXT" Women's Champion at some point in the future, so the organisation has huge plans for her. Mandy Rose defended her championship against Roxanne Perez on "NXT 2.0" in 2022. Lyons took a month out due to a slightly fractured and injured MCL, but she returned to NXT 2.0 on June 28th, 2022. She defeated Mandy Rose, the NXT Women's Champion, after making a return, but only using disqualification.

Lyons has been booked as an incredible powerhouse ever since making her NXT debut. She has become an absolute favourite among bookies in sports betting. She has an unbeaten solo competition record and a win via DQ over Mandy Rose on her CV. Lyons did lose in a trio’s match to Toxic Attraction at a Jacksonville house show. She was a member of an extraordinary team that also included Indi Hartwell and Wendy Choo, but that bout wasn't broadcast on NXT television, so it probably doesn't count in the larger WWE canon.

On December 31, 2021, Lyons debuted her WWE career as a member of the 205 Live brands. She has since competed in the ring alongside wrestlers like Amari Miller and Kayla Inlay and even had a fight with Lash Legend on NXT.

According to reports, Lyons has strong marketability for the business and has been making significant strides with her in-ring hard work. Before signing with WWE, she competed as Faith The Lioness in the well-known WOW (Women of Wrestling) organisation. She is not only a wrestler but also a model, an actor, and a musician.

Road Dogg, a former wrestler, recently shared his opinion about Nikkita Lyons. In an interview with Inside the Ropes, Brian James commended the NXT star's charisma. He also praised her versatility because she is skilled at rapping and dancing. James went on to say that the 22-year-old is improving her in-ring performance. He stated:

“Nikkita Lyons has a tonne of charisma, in my opinion. She can dance, rap, and work a little bit. She is there, and from what I can see, she is working on improving her in-ring skills. She is relatively young. I think she has a lot going for her. "

Final Words

Nikkita Lyons is impressive in the ring and has a lot of potential as a character moving forward. We're excited to see what she does in WWE going on, but she will need the ring time to help expand her arsenal of moves to be able to keep up with some of the veterans on the roster. There are still some improvements possible in her game. Hopefully, WWE will be able to give her the opportunities to expand her skillset.
