On November 22nd, Over The Top Wrestling announced that on December 21st, Lyra Valkyria will return to the promotion along with her former Woke Queen partner Debbie Keitel.

Fightful Select’s Corey Brennan asked around in OTT and was met with surprise regarding the announcement, with several people we spoke to finding out about Lyra’s return to the promotion through social media, with some also expressing their surprise to see Debbie Keitel returning to OTT along with her former Woke Queens’ partner.

One source we spoke to in OTT noted that it was expected to be a really special moment for the two women, and stated that they would like to see a reunion of the tag team. Another source noted the impact Finn Balor and JD McDonagh’s appearance was felt throughout Irish wrestling and expects the same from Lyra’s appearance. Another OTT talent noted that they expected more WWE crossover, but not so soon after their Tenth Anniversary show.

We have also heard of promotions signing contracts with WWE prior to their talent making outside appearances. One source we spoke to expects more WWE talents to start popping up more often in European independent promotions in 2025.

As we’d previously reported, Lyra was in attendance for ScrapperMania earlier this year, supporting her now fiancé LJ Cleary.
