Taya Valkyrie talks about potentially landing in AEW and Johnny Elite's recent appearance as part of the Owen Hart Memorial Cup Tournament.
Johnny Elite, the former John Morrison, recently made his AEW debut as the Joker in the Owen Hart Foundation Memorial Cup Tournament. In his only match in the tournament, he lost to Samoa Joe. Now, Johnny's wife, Taya Valkyrie, is opening up about how special that moment was for him and speaks about the possibility of seeing La Wera Loca walk through The Forbidden Door.
While Valkyrie definitely wants to work alongside her husband again, she would also be open to being paired with the Lucha Brothers on American television, furthering a stable that they have formed in AAA Lucha Libre.
"I think it was really important for John to have that moment, too, and I'm glad that he got that and facing someone like Samoa Joe and the first round of the Owen Hart cup. So I mean, I've said in interviews recently, the wrestling landscape is so insane right now, because of how everybody is really working together. So the idea of me potentially going into AEW, or having some sort of crossover there, is something I'm completely open to," Taya tells Bill Pritchard of WrestleZone.
"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. 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."
For now, Taya Valkyrie is just happy to see her husband having fun in AEW.
"But I'm very happy to see John having his moment and getting to have really good matches being given time. Listen, for the last six months, I've been watching him think of such crazy new ideas and watching him train his butt off in preparation for what is next. I'm just proud of him. I'm happy that he is somewhere where he seems to be having fun and he's surrounded by his peers," she said.
Johnny Elite’s second outing on AEW Dynamite was, perhaps, even less successful than his first as he was beaten by a returning Miro. Learn more about that here.
Valkyrie will be taking part in the NWA Alwayz Ready event on Saturday, June 11. fans can order that event on FITE.
