Taya Valkyrie Wants Mixed Tag Match With AEW Stars

Taya Valkyrie (formerly known in WWE as Franky Monet) may have been released by WWE along with husband John Morrison in November but she’s back on the independent scene in search of mixed tag match opponents.

Speaking with Muscle Man Malcolm, Taya noted looking forward to getting back on the road in front of fans, saying:

“I just want to travel and wrestle absolutely everywhere. There are so many wonderful, independent wrestlers that were not where they are now, two years ago, indies were hot and poppin’ and lit. So there’s a lot of you out there that I want to wrestle. I want to wrestle a lot of women, a lot of men, I want to be able to travel with John again and, you know, do our mixed tags that we used to do, win championships.

“I don’t know, where we’ll end up on television or what’s happening, but just know that I’m doing this with my whole heart and everything will that’s meant to happen, will happen. So we will see. This year is gonna be a big year.”

Noting a dream mixed tag match many fans would be thrilled to see, Valkyrie mentioned current AEW stars she would love to meet in the ring, responding:

“Britt Baker and Adam Cole. We’ve never — I’ve wrestled Britt one time in like a multi-man. I don’t think John and Adam Cole have ever wrestled. John’s never wrestled Britt, and I’ve never wrestled Adam Cole. So there you go. Why not?”

Elsewhere in the interview, Valkyrie noted that three things fans may not know about her are that she loves to cook Mexican food, she speaks three languages (English, French, and Spanish) and she is a self-described “reality show mark” who enjoys watching Real Housewives in her downtime.
