Who is WWE NXT star Nikkita Lyons?
In this week's edition of WWE NXT 2.0, WWE aired a short promo, hyping up the debut of Nikkita Lyons.
Lyons, real name Faith Jefferies, had her first match for the company back in December 2021, as she competed on 205 Live against Amari Miller. Before the match, WWE also aired a promo for Lyons.
Lyons looked quite decent in her first WWE match but didn't get off to the perfect start she was hoping for. Amari beat the newcomer after landing a suplex and a knee strike to end the match.
In her first WWE win, Lyons recently defeated Erica Yan on 205 Live via pinfall.
