Taya Valkyrie to miss Bound for Glory, next week’s Impact tapings
On the day before the pay-per-view, the card for Impact Wrestling’s biggest show of the year lost one of its matches.
Impact announced today that Taya Valkyrie, who had been scheduled to face Rosemary in a Red Wedding match (a first blood match) at Bound for Glory, wouldn’t be able to make the PPV or their subsequent television tapings. In their announcement, Impact noted that Valkyrie not being there is due to circumstances out of their control and they look forward to her being back in the promotion in 2018.
Valkyrie expanded on the announcement, writing on Twitter that her missing the shows is due to personal reasons. She hyped up that the Red Wedding match will still happen when she returns in January.
Impact has yet to confirm whether or not Rosemary will still wrestle at Bound for Glory. In the show’s Knockouts title match, Sienna will defend her championship against Gail Kim and Allie.
Bound for Glory will take place at the Aberdeen Pavilion in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada tomorrow night, with the venue also set to host five days of Impact tapings from November 6-10.
