#5 Future pro-wrestling free agent Taya Valkyrie
Taya Valkyrie is the longest-reigning IMPACT Knockouts Champion to date and one of the more valuable female performers to IMPACT. Her ability to switch from annoying heel, to annoying tweener, to likable star has been a fun transition to watch. The interactions between her and Rosemary have been pure gold and are among the most interesting in all of pro-wrestling.
Since she's already in the record books as one of the pre-eminent female wrestlers in IMPACT, there isn't much else for her to do there. She could win the Knockouts Tag Team titles in early 2021, but those belts could be earmarked for a different duo.
Many felt that she would go to WWE last year since her husband, John Morrison, returned last fall. Any pro-wrestling promotion's women's division would benefit from having Taya in it, and her contract is up at the end of January 2021.
AEW could use about three or four more big names to help fill out its division. Meanwhile, WWE and IMPACT already have stacked divisions, but both would benefit from having her in their ranks. SmackDown's division, in particular, desperately needs reinforcements to add to the depth.
Prediction: Taya Valkyrie signs with WWE
