We've been seeing cute doggo Franky Monet teasers for a few weeks now, and former IMPACT Wrestling Knockouts Champion Taya Valkyrie finally made her black and gold brand in-ring debut during last night's episode of NXT.
Monet previously interrupted NXT Women's Champion Raquel Gonzalez as she was cutting a promo in the ring, making it clear that NXT was "her show," but this was the first time we've seen her in action as she faced off against Cora Jade (fka Elayna Black).
Monet dominated for most of the match, before finishing off her opponent with her signature Road to Valhalla (which will no doubt be renamed).
Franky was interviewed after the match, and promised to put the rest of the NXT Women's Division on notice.
“100%, McKenzie. That’s what I came here to do,” she said. “That’s what I’ve done until getting here to the WWE, and now I will do it here, for the first time in WWE NXT. So, all of you women from the locker room, take note because you got a big ole target on your back, especially you, Raquel. Now ‘La Güera Loca’ is coming for each, and every one of you.”
We assume a title shot is in Monet's future, and may happen sooner rather than later as Gonzalez doesn't appear to have a new No. 1 contender lined up.
