[6.0] "I believe she's unfairly shunned at times for what she is... a developmental superstar who's still learning the ropes. She's got ways to go and we'll see where she gets to - but I dont think she's a write off"
[0.0] "One of the worst wrestlers I've ever seen. If she didn't do a certain thing she wouldn't even be employed. Can't wrestle, can't cut a promo, and really is just an INSTANT channel changer for me man..."
[5.0] "Nikita has grown on me. She can be the NXTs version of Chelsea Green. Her wrestling is ok. But she stands out with the outrageous character and nonchalant antics and mannerism. If you pay attention to her backstage segments she's really hilarious. There's a market for that. Plus I really don't mind her on Evolve. She's gotten to show more of her skills and character there."
[1.0] "She is essentially the answer to the question "What if WWE signed Katie Forbes? ". Her matches are extremely rough and her promos are cringeworthy. Not much to offer here overall but she might have potential as a comedy jobber or something. Just crazy how many people she has outlasted that seem like very good talent."
[5.0] "Ooooh, okay, she's actually been improving recently. Her match in the fatal four-way was really good. But, she still has a lot to improve and I'm hoping she will try to impress us soon. I guess that's all I could say about her"
[0.0] "Possibly the worst wrestler of all time, no exaggeration. There is nothing she does at even a below average level, it's all horrible. Her in ring is sloppy, she can't sell, her offense is weak, her move set sucks. Can't cut a promo, character is stupid as hell and extremely annoying. She looks a mess. Only reason she was over for a little bit is her body, and I hate saying that, but it's true. The insane amount of taunts she does (which all look bad too btw) revolve around that. No idea how she is still employed. Haven't even mentioned how injury prone she is. Nikkita shouldn't even be allowed to call herself a wrestler. Terrible worker who is massively overrated by her rating of 4 on this website."
[5.0] "I think Nikkita Lyons is slightly underrated, admittedly I'm not as familiar with rainbow-era NXT as I should be and that may skew my view more positively, but I like her just fine Nikkita is charismatic, good look, not an amazing worker but I think her strikes look good and she's still relatively green, I doubt she'll ever be world champion, but like, women's tag team division is starving and I could easily see her sliding in there, or Evolve women's champion, but not much beyond that."
[4.0] "Nikkita Lyons has the look, charisma, and athletic foundation that made her stand out instantly in NXT. You can tell she has a real presence and a connection with the audience. That said, her in-ring work is still inconsistent--some matches show promise, while others feel slow or overly choreographed. The Tornado Kick is flashy, but the rest of her move set needs depth and polish. She's been unlucky with injuries too, which stalled her momentum. With more ring time and refining, she could definitely grow into a solid midcard act or even more."
[3.0] "They tried and it didn't work. She's actually talented and athletic, but it hasn't translated to in-ring quality. She appears to care about the business and has worked hard, but ultimately has not gotten any better"
[0.0] "Nikkita Lyons is, quite frankly, one of the most bafflingly protected talents in WWE's developmental system. Despite having several years under her belt, her in-ring work remains clunky, uninspired, and riddled with botches, while her promos lack any charisma or believability. She presents herself as a hybrid athlete-musician-entertainer, yet fails spectacularly in all three departments. Her wrestling is sluggish, her rap career is cringe-inducing, and her character work is embarrassingly one-dimensional. Constant injuries have only highlighted her lack of conditioning, and it's astonishing that far more polished and promising wrestlers have been cut while she continues to occupy a roster spot. At this point, her continued presence feels less like a developmental project and more like a stubborn mistake WWE refuses to acknowledge."
[10.0] "Nikkita Lyons has returned to in-ring competition and this month has appeared on WWE Evolve where she was victorias, in an NXT Live event and on TNA Wrestling in a tag match. Her match Thursday night on TNA has gone completely viral on social media because of an unexpected moveset that included a reverse bronco buster and many people are excited to see her return from a major injury. Her performance was nothing short of electrifying. A powerful display of athleticism, charisma and heart that reminded fans why she's one of the most promising stars in wrestling today. She seems to be making great progress in her recovery, finally cleared from medical and was able to remove her leg braces. During her TNA match, she performed other familiar martial arts moves, landing some serious kicks to her opponent; Tessa Blanchard. It's clear that Nikkita Lyons is back for the attack and if she stays on course, could become more popular than ever!"
[0.0] "I do not understand how is nikkita lyons still employed as a wrestler she is a complete joke and embarrassment for professional wrestling. She does not deserve to be in the ring at all over the recent releases I was completely suprised she still stayed. There is nothing good about this embarrassment of an "athlete" and the way she manages to get worse in the ring is insane the two knee braces for her young age is insane. All she does is dance in the ring like a complete clown and that weak finisher is the icing on top I have no respect for her."
[0.0] "I mean no disrespect to her as a person, but as a performer, she simply doesn't resonate with me. Her in-ring work feels unconvincing, her selling ... is not good, her style lacks uniqueness or polish, and her overall presentation doesn't connect and i wince when she talk. I've tried to see the appeal, but nothing stands out in a positive way for me. Everyone has strengths, but in this case, I personally don't see them. True to be told, when she is on screen , I turn the match off, even if she is against a better."
"I don't understand this lady at all everything about her SUCKS ! Nikkita music suck her in ring sucks then shes was mostly in a cringe AF with i can't even remember bro name he cringe too whatever love triangle thing PURE trash yeah this lady just suck all the way around as far as her wrestling character ."
[0.0] "Nikkita Lyons has the "look" of being a major star in the business. Personally, I don't think she does. Her wrestling capabilities are poor, she needs work on the mic for her promo work, her selling is just awful. I feel like most people who rate her above a 6 is because they are obsessed with her looks rather than her actual wrestling in which even her matchguide have all her matches rated as of this rating a disastrous under 5/10 standard. The way she is being booked is the best part of her career so far and I will give her the benefit of the doubt that she has had only 3 years of training therefore will rate her an inadequate score of 2. Nah, re-evaluation, she is garbage."
[0.0] "Nikkita Lyons has backgrounds both in martial arts and shaking ass. thats all i can say, an absolutely failure, blanky, sample horrendous builded, She's slow and pointless, she has no business inside of the ring and no business outside of it. I can't BELIEVE amazing athletes like Dakota Kai, Katana and Kayden got released, and she's STILL IN, she survived the release waves TWICE and she just stay in catering taking pics and posting on the social medias! OMG i really could say stuff like: omg she's might be HORRIBLE in wrestling, but in real life she's a nice person! BUT I can't because it would be a concrete lie! At first, when lyons debut in 205 live back in 2021, i thought she could be a star, but i was SO wrong"
[0.0] "Omg what an awful wrestler. She has absolutely nothing to offer to this industry. I don't know where she came from, if it is NIL program, or if she was spotted on some indie shows, but she's absolutely dreadful. 6 whole years as a professional wrestler and she is as bad as she was when she started. No progression, no physical ability, no nothing. She does not even look slightly interested. Constantly injured. I hope she just stays as a "rapper", even though her rapping skills are absolutely none as well. WWE will release anyone but the untalented."
[1.0] "Nikkita Lyons is not good. I saw a comment online that said she moves like a 50 year old Undertaker..and they're not wrong. She's a 6 year veteran with less than 100 matches under her belt, she unfortunately at this point has no real upside and most likely won't improve to a standard at where she'll operate beyond her current role in NXT which is very much someone who shows up for a few weeks, gets injured and comes back a year later."
[0.0] "Plain and simple and in the nicest way possible she's awful. She has no good moves she can't cut promos she tries to make music which is unbearable to listen to and again she can't wrestle. She just got demoted to EVOLE which is just at this point just release her and keep it pushing it's ridiculous how Jakara Jackson and Dakota Kai gets released but she stays in WWE when she hasn't improved in no areas but regressed tremendously I don't see her ever being on the Main Roster and she just awful to watch."
[2.0] "God, she's so bad. I know she's had injury issues but she might just need to give it up because her matches are ROUGH. Even her character doesn't wow me by any means, and the only reason she could stick out ever is because of her awful in-ring performances."
[0.0] "Another terrible wrestler who only trained at the WWE PC and Sara Amato is once again listed as the trainer. I don't know what the hell they're teaching these people down there but fundamentals isn't on the curriculum. Lyons is all kinds of bad in the ring and on the mic. I'm assuming WWE keeps these people around because of the sunk cost fallacy. They're going to get their money's worth one way or another. With 6 years of experience and no improvement, I don't see how she's going to move much further in her career."
[3.0] "One of the worst things I've seen in the Ring. She moves worse than the undertaker did after his hip went. Truly terrible to watch, an eye sore. Slow, boring, can hardly do any moves whatsoever."
[4.0] "Nikkita lyons is only 25 with multiple injuries which is extremely sad, Due to her injuries their isn't alot of matches to rate her from. from a tag team standpoint I think she will go great if they pair her with someone. Her mic skills are decent I guess a 2.25/5 or a 2.5/5. her character I find underrated 3.5/5 her ring skills is hard to rate but from her matches that are longer then 5 minutes she is slow and botch alot so i guess a 1.5/5 overall I'd say she is a 2.25/5"
[3.0] "How sad that due to many injuries that Nikkita has had, she does not move correctly in the ring, this causes her to sometimes poorly manage some of her opponents' movements"
[2.0] "Nikita Lyons is definitely mid and way too sexualized for my taste. While she has some talent, it often feels overshadowed by her focus on appearance rather than her wrestling skills. Fans want to see genuine wrestling ability, and if she could shift her focus to showcasing her athleticism and technique, she could really elevate her status in the ring. Come on, Nikita, show us what you've got beyond the looks.. after reading her bio I thought she was in her 30s .. she's only 25? Moving very slowly"
[2.0] "I hate to talk like an old internet wrestling nerd but she doesn't belong in the wrestling business. She's mediocre in every aspect of her work. She has nothing interesting to offer, she doesn't improve and, most importantly, she doesn't want to improve."
[2.0] "I'd give Nikkita Lyons a 2/10 because, honestly, she hasn't shown much that stands out to me. Her in-ring work feels clunky, and her character doesn't connect. There could be potential, but she needs major improvement to climb out of that "all hype, no substance" territory."
[6.0] "She's been written off since coming back from injury, but people forget that she's still very young *and* in developmental. She has good strikes and is capable of athleticism, plus has a significant amount of charisma that can still get her back to being as over as she once was. I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt considering how good HBK is at booking women, and the NXT women's division being the best in the world right now. We will see how she gets on in future."
[2.0] "Horrible wrestler. With all due respect she is another version of Katie forbes. and she has a double knee brace at 25. her mic skills are blah and legit everything else that she needs to be a wwe superstar she lacks in it. the only reason she gets a 2 is because she hasn't hurt anyone and she somewhat decent in storytelling"
[5.0] "She has potential. I've only seen her since her return, and in most of those matches, she looked a little green but solid for a developing wrestler. She has a moveset that could be interesting as she gets more experience, and she's flexible and athletic. Her last televised match though, she looked rough, moving slowly and seeming a bit lost and out of the flow. I haven't seen enough to write her off or say to bet on her being a star. She's in the best women's roster in the US, and yeah she isn't currently at the level of several others there, but she is relatively new and also coming back from injury. I can see this rating going up or down in the future."
[3.0] "Just changed my rating from 5 to 3... I didn't like her before the injuries and I still don't like her now. She's the most underwhelming wrestler in the NXT Women's division. She's really slow, her moveset is not that great and she relies way too much on her appearance. PS : her entrance is the worst thing ever, it's like if a kid created a wrestler's entrance on WWE 2K15 picking every animation available in the game."
[3.0] "She's.. decent I'll give her that. She's hot and thats why people like her, but other than that she's not bad.. just not anything special. She's improved though I'll give her that, and she can get A 6. EDIT: She absolutely sucks especially now."
[6.0] "I can understand the harsh criticism as well as the praise for Nikkita Lyons. She has the look to be a star (attractive) and was quite good in ring before she suffered 2 nasty injuries to her legs. Now, in her most recent showings, she has been a good amount slower and trying to figure out her style now. While I do think she could improve and work as a heel, it will take a while I fear for her to get back to her previous level of fan support and in-ring quality. She clearly has a passion for wrestling and has shown she will work hard to succeed, but it is also a case of knowing that she clearly doesn't have much more time left before she is left widdling away in the under card or (what I think would do wonders for her) just moving into the role of a manager. She clearly has the charisma and mic abilities for it, and it would keep her around without having to risk more injuries."
[1.0] "I don't like Nikkita, while she has a killer look and surprising athleticism, she just doesn't feel good to watch. She's too reckless, a younger and even botchier Nia Jax, a horrid personality outside of wrestling with her social media attitude, and her coming as a danger waiting to happen with her double knee braces, he's not someone I want to see in main and her time ended ehen she first had her push in the original 2.0 run, grown and getting better women mean Nikkita has lost her place, pitiful if she didn't act with misconduct and her already scary ringwork that could hurt her or her opponent."
[0.0] "NXT has a very strong womens divison and nikkita probs is easily the worst part of it she's just terrible and only there for one purpose which we know what itt is she's just awful in ring and there's plenty of better women's wrestler who deserve the opportunities which she'll probably get it feels as if she knows her purpose isn't to wrestle and that's what i dislike i about her easily a channel changer everyorme she appears on the screen i prefer dana brooke to her which says a lot because i really dislike dana"
[2.0] "Her in-ring skills are lacking, which may be due to the knee injuries she has sustained. Her gimmick is also not good. I would consider another line of work if she doesn't improve in this ongoing NXT run. Should ditch the nunchucks as well. An overall inadequate wrestler."
[2.0] "She is pretty much a less over Jade Cargill with a little bit better ring skill. She is all about her look not about wrestling abilities. She doesn't have a big aura around her too but still she's being rated quite highly by many people. Not a fan compeletely."
[2.0] "She is not good and she doesn't care about wrestling. Maybe if she was in the divas era she could be a top star. She is awful in the ring and she is so annoying on the mic. if she comes back as a heel and improved her character than I will rate her as a 5."
[3.0] "People who don't like to wrestle or love wrestling should not be given prominent roles, which is why there are rumors circulating that if she doesn't improve at a pace wwe expects her to improve wwe will be looking to release her and I wouldn't blame them"
[10.0] "Nikkita Lyons presence in the ring is electrifying; every move she makes speaks volumes to me. With an aura that commands attention and body language that exudes confidence, she possesses all the makings of WWE's next female superstar. Keep an eye on Nikkita, as she's destined for greatness in the world of wrestling. Nikkita's YouTube channel, "Lyons Den TV, " amplifies her presence beyond the ring, spreading messages of empowerment and authenticity. She's not just destined for greatness in wrestling; she's a force of inspiration that could spread worldwide."
[0.0] "She's dreadful. She has no interest or passion for wrestling. She's just as dreadful as The Kat, Dana Brooke, and Candice michelle. Are HHH and WWE desperately trying to revive the divas division? All she is interest is in fame that comes with WWE. If this is the future of the women's division that wwe wants then we're all screwed."
[5.0] "Other than the cake than fans adore, there isn't all that much going for her and while she can improve I won't hold my breath for the fans to adore her either if she can't carry herself in the ring."
[7.0] "I like Nikkita Lyons. She has the makings of a star. I really like her look, presentation, and in ring style. If she can improve her promos and acting she can be one of the top girls in the future."
"Not rating her yet because I wait at least a year after a TV debut to rate a wrestler. Nikkita Lyons is going to be a star. There's no two ways about it. She has the look, she has the presence. Her promos are not good yet but she has time to work on that. Her ring work has been hit or miss so far but she is improving. Her first tag title match with Zoey Stark was excellent. Love, hate, or indifferent, she is going to make it."
[6.0] "This divides many opinions.Both negative and positive. I'm in the middle ground. I don't think she's that bad or that good, she's just a rookie and depending on how she's treated she can develop her skills in the ring."
[5.0] "Nikkita Lyons's biggest appeal is basically her ass. She's nothing special in the ring, and I've heard better promos cut by tougher women. Her attires are also mediocre too. I'm hoping that they don't have Nikkita Lyons be the one to end Mandy Rose's lengthy NXT Women's title reign. She's not ready for that push or that position at all. I'll edit this final sentence by adding in the fact that she did a decent job in her last 2 tag matches with Zoey Stark against the team of Kacy Catanzaro/Kayden Carter, which moves Nikkita Lyons up to a 5 for now."
