At first glance, you could be forgiven for thinking the above image was actually a photo of the real-life Lyra Valkyria making her entrance, such is the work that's gone into the WWE Women's Intercontinental Champion's WWE 2K25 model.

Now, one thing Visual Concepts have still not been able to crack is the placement of title belts - often not sitting right on the champion in question, or that long-standing issue that comes with the belts having to be placed over jackets and coats - but there's no doubting the quality of 2K25's Lyra.

Like certain other wrestlers in this article, Valkyria also has one of the most impressive entrances in WWE 2K25, complete with those crowd participation moments. With her patented wings being part of that entrance, it's fun to take the third-person view when Lyra makes her way to the ring, with you then able to check out the fantastic character model from all angles.

Also like certain other wrestlers in this article, Lyra Valykria is someone who has more than one character model in WWE 2K25, for in addition to the standard Lyra, you'll also find her attire from last year's King and Queen of the Ring event as an unlockable as part of Showcase.
