Legend took a personal shot at another new WWE Superstar Nikkita Lyons on this week’s episode of NXT commenting on Lyons family and body.
Lash Legend appeared in a talk show segment on NXT where her guest was Nikkita Lyons. The two seem to be building up a rivalry, as Legend got really personal with Lyons.
