In NXT UK, there is a new dominant force in the women’s divison. Hailing from Dublin, Ireland, Aoife Valkyrie has arrived with success on her mind. She has already racked up a few wins on her way to an eventual shot at NXT UK Women’s Champion Kay Lee Ray. Her rise has captured the attention of a woman who feels her spotlight has been stolen, that being Nina Samuel’s. They would meet in the ring on this weeks edition of NXT UK.
Another Dominant Performance From Aoife Valkyrie
In Norse mythology, a valkyrie is one of a host of female figures who choose those who may die in battle and those who may live. This is true for Aoife Valkyrie as well, and while she isn’t taking lives she is taking victories. The match would start quick with Valkyrie grabbing a headlock, but the athletic Samuels would slip out with ease. Valkyrie would simply take her back into a headlock, only to be countered into a headscissor from Samuel’s. She would flip her way out, and catch Samuels with a roll up for an early near fall. Samuel’s would attempt a pin of her own but Valkyrie would bridge up to break it.
After a test of strength near the ropes, Valkyrie would find her throat on the middle rope. Not letting this opportunity go to waste, Samuel’s would tie her opponent up with a modified Indian Deathlock, applying pressure to the lower back. The mistake would be made in moving to a bow & arrow hold which Valkyrie would roll out of into a quick two count. After some strikes, Valkyrie would find herself on the shoulders of Samuel’s, and would twist into an arm drag, but her opponent would slip out of the ring to prevent a followup as Valkyrie took to the top rope.
Not to be denied, a kick through the middle rope would send Samuel’s into the barricade. Valkyrie would find herself tripped by Samuel’s, who launched herself over the top rope with a splash. After another kickout, Samuel’s would slap Valkyrie, firing her up. A spinning elbow, a huge spinning heel kick and her patented Peripeteia Guillotine Leg drop would end the match and continue Valkyries winning ways.
When Will Valkyrie Get Kay Lee Rae?
While Kay Lee Rae is currently involved with Piper Niven, Valkyrie is well on her way to the NXT UK Women’s Women’s Championship. She has the fans behind her, the wins piling up, and all the momentum in the world. With the next UK Takeover being in her home town of Dublin, we could see her etch her name in the history books on that night. Do you think Valkyrie could defeat Kay Lee Rae?
