WWE wrestler Lyra Valkyria shared insights during an interview with Nerdtropolis, touching on the reception of WWE: Unreal and her personal connection to the show. She expressed mixed feelings about the portrayal, noting it features more of her real-life self, Aoife, rather than her wrestling persona. Despite this, Valkyria is encouraged by the positive response and how viewers relate to the pressures wrestlers face behind the scenes.
She remarked,
“I don’t know if I have a hope for people to feel, because I can’t watch that back. So I’m really glad that it’s like people are connecting with it and it seems to be in a positive way, that it’s helping people see that the stresses that we’re under all the time and stuff. But it’s kind of hard for me to show that, because that’s like Aoife, not Lyra. So I think it’s cool that people get to see that, I think. I don’t know, because it’s not always the part of me that I want to showcase. But I’m very glad that people seem to be liking it. And you know, maybe it’s a sign that I should show more of Aoife in in Lyra.”
