Well this is a bummer.
Impact Wrestling announced on their Twitter today that Taya Valkyrie will not be competing at the Bound for Glory pay-per-view (PPV) tomorrow or at the television tapings that are set for next week.
Due to circumstances beyond our control @TheTayaValkyrie will not be at #BFG2017 or the tapings. We look forward to seeing Taya in 2018.

While Impact has made some news recently about releases that were possibly cost cutting moves, this is not that nor her bailing on the company. Taya clarified that herself on Twitter.
And just to clarify to the “know it alls”, I didn’t “pull out” of BFG, I am un able to be there to whole week due to personal reasons

This is definitely a disappointment. Taya was set to face Rosemary at Bound for Glory tomorrow in a match that many were excited for. On her Twitter, it definitely sounds like she’ll be back in January for the following set of tapings so hopefully we’ll see the feud pick back up then.
As of writing this, Impact hasn’t announced what they’ll do with Rosemary, but most likely they’ll add her to the Knockouts title triple threat match with champion Sienna, Allie, and Gail Kim.
Hopefully, everything is OK with Taya and we look forward to seeing her back in Impact battling Rosemary soon.
