In tonight’s episode of AEW Dynamite, Jade Cargill defended her TBS Championship against Nicole Matthews, securing her 54th consecutive win on the show. The match was short, and Cargill emerged victorious. However, her celebration was cut short when a debuting Taya Valkyrie made her way to the ring and confronted the champion.
In a post-match interview with Renee Paquette, Cargill was about to cut a promo when Valkyrie’s music hit, surprising both Cargill and the crowd. Valkyrie, who had previously hinted that she wouldn’t be appearing on the show in Canada, made her way to the ring and confronted Cargill. Despite the interference of Leila Grey, Valkyrie took her out with Cargill’s finisher, leaving the champion stunned.
The appearance of Valkyrie on AEW Dynamite has sparked speculation about her future with the company. Commentator Excalibur noted that she might no longer be a free agent, and fans eagerly anticipate what the future holds for the former IMPACT Knockouts World Champion. With Valkyrie’s surprise appearance, the AEW women’s division just got a lot more interesting.
