Taya certainly can go in the ring more than most wrestlers half her age so props to her

[lylaznboi]

Finn Balor is 40 looking like he's in his late 20's/early 30's. AJ Styles signed with the WWE at 37 and going to be 45 in June. Beth Phoenix is 41 and still having matches every now and then. Age shouldn't be a problem if they are over with the crowd.

Lita's 46 And she still looks Amazing and Taya Looks Amazing For her Age But WWE Doesn't Have an issue with a 55 Year Old Past His Prime Goldberg Wrestling Again Man WWE is A Crazy Company.

As soon i as i watched her perform in lucha underground i have been a fan taya is great

[SuperBritmusic]

Taya is not even close to being considered old. She is a very talented performer and I'm sure she'll make a huge impact outside of that shit company.

[omjidosar]

She was my favorite in lucha underground and impact wrestling feel very bad for her Hope she lands on aew or impact

[jonesy]

When you guys said you were 25, I legit believed both of you. Lookin' good guys!

[kenterminateddq]

I checked Taya Valkyrie's wikipedia page and she's far from being "old".
Kira Magnin is 38. Meanwhile, Nattie Neidhart is 39.
Taya could have been NXT's Natalya.

I love how Taya's doggie just runs around though the entire interview lol

[aceentertainmnt]

To me, she just looks like a champion. Her style, personality, I'd rather see the title on her than Becky for sure.

[slasherdope]

Taya is not old. She is still pretty damn young at 38

[omjidosar]

I feel sad for her because WWE should had given her a main roaster run I think she would be great if they have given her a chance

[scottcarey]

Shout out to that "House Squirrel" at

[arnoldrobertsiii]

Taya has nothing to be ashamed of, in her WWE run. It seems to me like they wanted a younger Taya. Now they have Nikkita Lyons. Look at the similarities.

[farbdalegend]

Yes me and taya would get along because I can tell she is optimistic for the future

[zurin]

Taya is the most electrify women in sports entertainment.

[omjidosar]

Hey brother big fan I love watching your interviews you are great brother

[flickhunter]

Vince McMahon has gone mad firing 100s of talent within last 2 yrs

[paulrawn]

I'm 10 years younger than both of them but honestly i look older than they do

[Njbear]

Didnt DDP take his first bump at 35? 36? Doesn’t mean anything
