Taya Valkyrie Comments on Criticisms Towards Her New Franky Monet Ring Name in WWE

This past Tuesday’s episode of NXT featured the official on-screen debut of Franky Monet, formerly known as Taya Valkyrie in Impact Wrestling and the indies.

Following her debut, Monet responded on Twitter to criticisms towards her new ring name in WWE and their NXT brand.

Hey guys, I LOVE MY NAME…..maybe since I picked it. Go figure! 💁🏼‍♀️ I could be called Sunshine Tuna and I would make it work!!! So take a breath, stop complaining and enjoy this evolution and ride with me. Thanks 🙏🏻 #FrankyMonet

WWE Changed Plans for US Title Match at WrestleMania 37

As noted before, WWE made late changes to their original plans for the finish to the Randy Orton vs. The Fiend match at WrestleMania 37.

Besides the Orton vs. The Fiend match, Fightful Select reported that the original plans for the United States Championship match between Sheamus and Riddle were also changed prior to the event.

It was reported that WWE officials had originally planned for Riddle to retain his title but made the late decision for Sheamus to win instead in favor of new tentative plans to continue their feud together.
