Reports from both Wrestling Observer and PWInsider are stating that Taya Valkyrie is finished with Impact Wrestling. Valkyrie wrapped up the TV taping for Impact in Las Vegas last month. She was not signed to the company and it is believed to be signing elsewhere. Impact has already taped material explaining her exit.
The Observer’s Dave Meltzer states: “She is likely going to AEW or WWE and whichever one is supposed to be made clear within a short period of time.”
That timing of the reveal for her next destination has PWInsider’s Mike Johnson and others thinking she could debut on Dynamite as early as next week.
Reasons for this speculation, is AEW teasing a Canadian wrestler as TBS champion Jade Cargill’s opponent for next Wednesday in Winnipeg. Valkyrie hails from Victoria, British Columbia.
During her latest run with Impact, Taya won both the single and tag team Knockouts titles. She’s also worked with MLW over the past year, where she is the inaugural Women’s Featherweight Champion, as well as the current AAA Reina de Reinas Champion.
Her ties with Major League Wrestling shouldn’t be an issue, as Meltzer noted Valkyrie isn’t committed to the MLW promotion for a long time. Stay tuned for more updates on this as they come along.
