Nikkita Lyons breaks character as she praises 29-year-old star following her historic moment

On the most recent episode of NXT, Zoey faced Indi Hartwell in a singles match. After a continuous back-and-forth brawl, Stark hit Hartwell with her signature GTS variant to pick up the win. Zoey was also among the NXT stars to make a debut on the main roster at the Royal Rumble premium live event. She participated in the Women's Royal Rumble match and entered the ring at number 13, but was eventually eliminated by Sonya Deville.
