Former WWE Star and current IMPACT Wrestling Star Taya Valkyrie recently appeared on the Battleground Podcast to discuss a number of topics such as how women's wrestling has changed so much over the last decade, but they still have a ways to go.
Taya Valkyrie said:
“Women’s wrestling, wrestling in general, has changed so much over the last decade, really. But I still think, for women, we still have a ways to go. We still are going to be fighting for our spots, we’re still going to be fighting to have a match on an indie show. I think it’s insane when you come across an indie show and there’s no women on the card. I think that’s disgraceful in 2022.”
Taya Valkyrie also talked about how several professional wrestling promotions are giving women bigger platforms to perform.
Taya Valkyrie said:
“We’re trying to fight to get paid, we’re trying to fight for all these kind of things. But it’s great to see that we’re moving in a positive direction, and it’s great that there are these companies like Impact, like NWA, like MLW, that are allowing women to have other platforms to perform.”
