Tonight’s WWE NXT episode on the USA Network saw the “World Premiere” in-ring debut of Franky Monet (fka Taya Valkyrie).
Monet made her NXT TV arrival back on April 14 and has been taunting the women’s division ever since then, along with her pet Pomeranian. Tonight’s NXT show saw Monet make her in-ring debut with a win over Cora Jade (fka Elayna Black).
Monet dominated most of the match with aggressive offense, then got the pin after a sitdown powerbomb, and her Road to Valhalla finisher.

Two big matches have been announced for the May 25 WWE NXT episode on the USA Network.
