After experiencing some hometown love in Calgary when she faced Toni Storm at BATTLE OF THE BELTS VII, Taya Valkyrie returned to The States, specifically New Jersey, for a COLLISION bout with fan favorite Skye Blue. Back in the U.S.A, Taya experienced the same response from the fans she’d been receiving for quite a few months now, and that suited her just fine when she defeated Skye.
It’s also what prompted Taya to call out Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D for this first-time match on DYNAMITE! The former AEW Women’s World Champion is coming into this fight having scored a victory over her own last Wednesday night, and it’s certainly no coincidence Valkyrie took a small “homegrown talent” dig at Skye Blue in the process of her challenge. After all, Baker is the homegrown talent for the Women’s Division and a victory over here would be a massive boon for Taya’s AEW career, especially after suffering so many high-profile losses.
For Baker, this one will be about reminding everyone why she calls herself the face of the Women’s Division, and letting Taya know just how she came to earn that moniker. There are few women who represent AEW with as much heart as the Good Doctor, and now Taya can find out why first-hand!
