Trained by Lance Storm in the Storm Wrestling Academy, Taya Valkyrie kicked off her wrestling carrier in her native country of Canada. After competing for a year, Valkyrie was offered a WWE contract after having a tryout with the company.

After not being used much in WWE, Valkyrie asked for her release and went back to Canada where she competed on the independent circuit. Valkyrie moved to Mexican independent promotions and had some notable moments in Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide, where she is still the AAA Reina de Reinas Champion and is in her third reign.

Valkyrie also had the longest reign as the Impact Wrestling Knockout Champion which lasted 377 days.

Valkyrie is currently busy making waves outside WWE and enjoying success in Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide, whereas her husband John Morrison is competing in WWE. While some former Superstars have called upon the WWE to bring Valkyrie back too, it remains to be seen if the company decides to do so.
