AEW: Taya Valkyrie AEW Rumors Update, New Matches for Mar. 18th House Rules Event, Dark Results

Update on Taya Valikyre as Potential Surprise Opponent for Jade Cargill for Wed.’s Dynamite Show

As noted before, this Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite show in Winnipeg, Canada will be featuring an open challenge match of Jade Cargill vs. a mystery opponent. One of the potential names rumored to be Cargill’s opponent is former Impact Wrestling talent Taya Valkyrie.

The Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer reported in Monday’s Daily Update that his sources have yet to confirm if Valkyrie will be the mystery opponent for Cargill’s upcoming match. Meltzer reported that Valkryie was pulled from a recent tour of Australia that was originally scheduled to start this past Saturday. The reason reportedly was stated by the promoter of the tour to be due to a late schedule conflict issue.

In a recent interview with WrestleZone, Valkyrie gave her thoughts about the recent rumors of her being the potential mystery opponent for Cargill’s match.

“I will be in Los Angeles, California I will be here in my house with my dogs. John will be back from Australia, so yeah, I’ll be here.

I love gossip. I woke up to a bunch of texts from people and social media blowing up, but it is what it is. It’s gossip, people will talk. Honestly, keep talking,” Valkyrie said. “I’m just gonna sit here and keep doing my thing. Just enjoy the ride, everybody. Enjoy the ride. You’re meant to be entertained. Stop trying to figure it all out. It will all work out in the end. So enjoy it. Watch pro wrestling everywhere. I obviously have dedicated over a decade of my life to this, and I’m going to continue to do that. So, just enjoy the show.”
