NXT's Franky Monet and her adorable little dog Presley (follow him and his mate Bowie here) will go down in WWE history as the answer to a trivia question. Franky did get to work for the NXT Women's Title, but creative clearly didn't really know what to do with her after the first run of vignettes.

Monet was released into the pro wrestling wilds last November, and has been working for IMPACT Wrestling ever since. That's not why she's here though - Taya Valkyrie has been doing something else rather fun outside North America: She's been winning belts in AAA.

Taya is the current AAA Reina de Reinas Champion.

She was pretty outspoken about WWE after leaving the company, so some bridges might've been burned there. That's cool, 'cause Valkyrie has shown she doesn't need a major promotion to have her back. She's making moves without Triple H, and has yet to show up in AEW.
