Former WWE Superstar wants to join Johnny Elite in AEW
Taya Valkyrie recently expressed her desire to join her husband, Johnny Elite, in AEW.
Valkyrie is currently making appearances for IMPACT Wrestling and Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide, where she is the current AAA Reina de Reinas Champion. She wrestled on WWE NXT in 2021 before getting released on November 4.
Meanwhile, Elite debuted in AEW on the May 18 episode of Dynamite as a "joker" participant for the Owen Hart Cup quarterfinals against Samoa Joe. Last week, he was squashed by the returning Miro after getting his first win on Dark against Marq Quen.
In an interview with WrestleZone's Bill Pritchard, La Wera Loca praised the Jacksonville-based promotion, especially its wrestlers. She added that she is open to the idea of working there to be with her husband and Lucha Brothers.
"There are so many wonderful, talented people over there lots of things, like, the fact that John is there, and I could be with John again, or the fact that you know, my two brothers, Pentagon and Fenix are there working with them, we have a stable that's going to be you know, established in AAA, and AAA and AEW have a great working relationship."
She continued:
"I'm the Reina de Reinas Champion, four-time champion. Longest-reigning Knockouts, and Reina de Reinas Champion. So I absolutely think the possibility of that happening at some point would be wonderful. So I'm open to the idea, so we will see what happens." [H/T Fightful]
Valkyrie and Elite previously worked together in different promotions such as IMPACT Wrestling, Lucha Underground, and Lucha Libre AAA.
