Taya Valkyrie Makes AEW Debut

A triple champion across three promotions, Taya Valkyrie made her debut for AEW on Wednesday night’s episode of Dynamite, confronting reigning AEW TBS Champion Jade Cargill.

Wednesday’s show saw Cargill successfully defend the TBS Championship against Nicole Matthews in a Canadian Open Challenge.

Following the match, Cargill asked if that was all Canada could offer, and this led to Valkyrie coming out to the ring.

Valkyrie got right in Cargill’s face, but the undefeated TBS Champion Cargill backed off. Leila Grey made an attempt to attack Valkyrie but got decimated by the decorated Canadian athlete. Cargill tried to brawl but was held back by Mark Sterling and the referees.

Following the segment, AEW President Tony Khan announced that Valkyrie has signed with the company.

Valkyrie currently holds the Impact Knockouts World Tag Team Championship, the AAA Reina de Reinas Championship, and the MLW Women’s Featherweight Championship.

Bryan Danielson After AEW Revolution Loss: ‘It’s Time For Me To Go Home’

Bryan Danielson has seemingly been written off AEW television for the foreseeable future.

On last night’s “AEW Dynamite,” a pre-recorded video showed a bloodied and battered Danielson — following his Iron Man Match loss to MJF at AEW Revolution — addressing his immediate future in pro wrestling.

“I always thought I was doing this for my kids,” began Danielson. “When I was forced to retire, I wanted to teach them that if you love something, you have to fight for it. What I realized out there tonight [Sunday] was that Max was right. This whole time, my whole career has been [about] legs, lungs, heart, and never giving up. That’s always what I thought was best — to just fight, fight and fight.” 

Danielson continued, “But when I woke up from being unconscious, I found myself in a LeBell Lock, and my first instinct was to fight! As I was fighting, I realized I couldn’t feel my arms. My left leg didn’t have any strength anymore. And when Max said, after the Iron Man Match, that I wouldn’t be able to play with my kids…it dawned on me. He’s right.”  

Danielson was overcome with emotions as he acknowledged that he had prioritized winning the AEW World Championship over spending time with his family.

“I was putting myself before my family,” Danielson rued. “More than tapping out, that made me more ashamed than anything else. It’s time for me to go home.”

While the pre-recorded interview did not include an update on Danielson’s return date, AEW did air a separate post-match interview with MJF earlier in the show and announced a birthday celebration segment for the AEW World Champion for next week’s show. As such, it appears MJF will be moving onto a new challenger going forward.

It’s no secret that Danielson is in the stretch run of his illustrious career. In a recent interview, “The American Dragon” made it clear that the expiration of his AEW contract would mean he’s “done being a full-time wrestler.” Danielson signed a three-year contract with AEW in September 2021, meaning he’d become a free agent in the summer of 2024.

Wardlow Robbed – TNT Title, Ring Gear, & More Stolen

Wardlow, who just defeated Samoa Joe to capture the TNT Championship at Sunday night’s AEW Revolution pay-per-view event, had his car broken into on Tuesday.

The AEW wrestler took to Twitter to announce that all of his possessions were stolen from his vehicle while he wasn’t around. The windows of his rental car were smashed out, which appears to be the result of a smash-and-grab. This has been happening more and more in California and other states in recent months.

In the video, which you can see below, Wardlow says he’s still planning to make it to Sacramento tonight for his match with Powerhouse Hobbs. He stated,

“Well, thanks to the person who broke into my rental car and took absolutely everything from me. My TNT Title, my gear, my boots, my whole life were in those bags. I don’t know if this means I’m going to have to beat the sh*t out of Hobbs in these clothes I’m wearing right now, but one way or another I’m going to make it to Sacramento and we’re going to get this sh*t done. Whoever did do this better thank God that I didn’t catch you in the act because your jaw would be as shattered as this glass is.”
