Taya Valkyrie has confirmed her exit from AEW after turning down a contract extension.

Taya Valkyrie signed with All Elite Wrestling in 2023, and also worked for its sister promotion, Ring of Honor. She last competed on AEW television on the November 15, 2025, episode of Collision. She then competed on the January 15, 2026, edition of ROH TV, which remains her last wrestling outing to this day. She was part of the MxM TV faction alongside her husband, Johnny TV (John Morrison), Mansoor, and Mason Madden.

Taya Valkyrie’s team announced her AEW departure on X/Twitter. The announcement revealed she declined the company’s offer to extend her contract after thorough discussions.

“FROM THE TAYA VALKYRIE TEAM, LOS ANGELES, CA- Taya Valkyrie enters Free Agency after AEW exit. After much consideration and thorough discussions with her team Valkyrie has officially entered free agency having elected not to accept an offer to extend her contract with All Elite Wrestling (AEW).”

Valkyrie said, “I am incredibly grateful for my time with AEW and the opportunity to be part of the organization. While there, I wrestled and worked alongside exceptional talent, and built lasting relationships within the AEW family and deepened my relationships in the wrestling community. I am beyond thankful to the fans for their continued support of me, not only in my time with AEW but also as I step into this new chapter as a free agent. I can’t wait for what’s to come and have a lot more to leave in the ring. With my contract now concluded, I’m excited to explore new opportunities and possibilities as a wrestler, TV personality, and creative.”

“Valkyrie’s decision to enter free agency comes at a very exciting time in her career having been a Traitor on Traitors Canada this fall and following the release of her debut music EP, FAKE,” the announcement read.
