Taya Valkyrie recalls WWE rejecting her pitch

Valkyrie briefly wrestled under the ring name Franky Monet on WWE NXT in 2021.

While speaking on the AEW Unrestricted podcast, Taya revealed that she insisted on not changing her name to Franky. However, WWE rejected her pitch and renamed her anyway.

"I was fighting so hard for 'Taya Valkyrie.' Oh, my god. I went to bat for her over and over again and just kept getting 'No, no, no, Even variations of it. I was going to use my first shoot name and then Valkyrie. I was trying all these different combinations of things because this is who I've been for 12 years, almost 13 years. I felt like that's who the fans know, which made it even harder because I felt like Taya kind of died for a second. She kind of was taken to jail. She was nowhere to be seen. It was crazy."

On the latest episode of Dynamite, Taya Valkyrie star lost to Deonna Purrazzo in a singles match.
