Lyra Valkyria Reveals She Didn’t Want Fans Seeing Certain Backstage Moments

TLDR

Lyra Valkyria revealed in an interview on Going Ringside that she felt uncomfortable being filmed backstage for WWE Unreal on Netflix, stating she prefers to maintain control over her image and found it "strange" and "really weird" to be captured on camera as herself rather than her character after emotional moments. The Irish star admitted she's still processing how she feels about the raw backstage access the show provides, though she acknowledged that fans have connected with her through the series. Valkyria explained that everything wrestlers typically do on TV is carefully thought out, making the unfiltered backstage footage feel unnatural to her.
