And we spoke earlier about yourself and Tessa making history, but there are so many other talented women in IMPACT Wrestling. Who's your one to watch for 2020?
I'm picking two people because I'm picking them both for different reasons.
I think Jordynne Grace has evolved immensely, especially in the last few months, and her fire and desire for opportunities and recognition have just grown, and I think that's very interesting, and she's always been a very, very good technical wrestler that comes with a million ideas and she's definitely someone to watch.
I would also put Kiera Hogan as the other one to watch. I think, over the last year, her confidence and her true self have shown through so much. I think really, when someone is happy in their life, that it's very apparent in their performance. I know that, even for myself, when I was going through a lot of things, it was very apparent in my performances.
I'm in a very good and positive space in my life and I feel like that really resonates. I think that's true for Kiera Hogan and I'm very excited to see the blue flame, the firefly glow, and the butterfly really is becoming. And I'm as entertained as all of you watching her so I really can't wait to see what she does.
On the opposite end of that scale, there are a lot of "veterans" and you might say legends in Impact right now, too, like RVD, Tommy Dreamer, Rhino, Ken Shamrock - what's it like to have those huge names working in the company?
I mean, it's a little intimidating! I would be lying if I said it wasn't. But I also think it's great because you have these people that have years and years of experience as mentors, that you can go to and ask questions or for feedback and they are all extremely supportive of every single of us, and open to helping us. They are really just a positive addition to our locker room.
Yeah, of course, it's intimidating. It's Rhino, do you know what I mean? If anyone says otherwise, they are lying! I'm just glad that I can come to those people and people like Ken Shamrock and talk to them and have these honest conversations about my work and everyone is very supportive.
Finally, what can we expect from Taya Valkyrie in 2020?
You can expect La Wera Loca to be World Champion. I represented women's wrestling in 2019 to the best of my ability and I will continue to do that moving forward. I want to speak for every single girl out there that was told no, that it can't be done and continue representing women in this business and pushing for equal rights as far as opportunities, pushing for equal pay, or pushing for just us being respected because of our work and actually rustling feathers along the way so that it is making people realize that we all deserve to be here, we all deserve the same opportunities.
2020 will see me reign supreme, and I assure you that I am going to be the largest thorn in Tessa Blanchard's side that you have ever seen.
