Former WWE Star Believes Women’s Tag Team Wrestling Needs More Attention On The Indies

WWE

A former WWE star believes women’s tag team wrestling needs more attention on the indies.

Since being released from WWE in 2021, Taya Valkyrie has been making a name for herself across IMPACT Wrestling, AAA, MLW and the independent scene.

In IMPACT, Valkyrie is currently one half of the Knockouts Tag Team Champions with JesSICKa and Rosemary as The Death Dollz.

The company has highlighted women’s tag team wrestling well and now Taya wants to see it spread through the independent scene.

Speaking with Retro Cast Podcast, Valkyrie discussed her belief that women’s tag team wrestling needs more attention on the indies. She said:

“I’m just thrilled that IMPACT is building a strong female, women’s Knockouts tag team division.”

“I feel there needs to be more attention to that on the Indies. I definitely don’t see really established tag teams or as much tag teams as the guys.”

Praising The Hex as a top tag team, Taya stated:

“If we allow those women opportunities, if we allow more women’s tag team matches to happen, I feel that will continue to grow.”

“You look at established women like The Hex (Allysin Kay & Marti Belle), some of the tag teams in the NWA that have been doing work there and stuff like that.”

“We need to keep pushing, it’s obviously working, people are invested, and I’m excited to be representing women’s Knockouts tag team gold.”

Taya Valkyrie is also currently the AAA Reina de Reinas Champion in Mexico.
