Bully Ray Says Lyra Valkyria Heel Turn Could Create Austin 3:16 Moment

Lyra Valkyria turned heel on WWE Raw after losing the Women's Tag Team Championship alongside Bayley. Bully Ray discussed the potential impact of her next promo on Busted Open Radio.

Lyra Valkyria shocked fans on WWE Raw by snapping after taking the pin in a Women's Tag Team Championship loss with Bayley. It marked her first heel turn in WWE.

On Busted Open Radio, Bully Ray said her next opportunity to speak could be her Austin 3:16 moment. He noted that her main roster run has been stop-and-go so far.

Bully Ray emphasized that creative must deliver a follow-up promo next week that captures the viciousness shown in the turn. He wants to hear the why behind her actions delivered with genuine disdain and hatred for Bayley rather than memorized lines.

He suggested Valkyria seek help from Paul Heyman to master the tone, volume, and inflection needed to make the crowd want to boo louder.
