Cattie’s Catch Up: Taya Valkyrie, Taryn Terrell and Sienna vs Gail Kim, Allie and Rosemary on IMPACT Wrestling (September, 28th 2017)
Welcome all to this weeks edition of Cattie’s Catch up, another wayback wednesday/throwback post. This weeks is Impact Wrestling themed and takes a look back at an all star Six Knockout Tag from late 2017, one of my favorite years in Impact history not just due to the mixed tag feud between Davey Richards and Angelina Love and Eddie and Alisha Edwards, but because that year saw the signing and arrival of Current AAA Reina De Reinas Champion Taya Valkyrie. The undefeated force back in the day ended up teaming with fellow big name heels Taryn Terrell and then Knockouts Champion Sienna against Former Knockouts Champions Allie, Rosemary and Gail Kim.
The match featured a combination of feuds, as Taryn Terrell returned as a heel earlier that year and cost her former friend and rival Gail Kim a championship opportunity, while Rosemary entered into a feud with “Lucha Royalty” Taya Valkyrie, who, as part of her debut, hinted saving Rosemary, Gail Kim and Allie from Taryn and Sienna, only to turn and attack Rosemary. Earlier that year, Sienna had also obtained the Knockouts Championship from Rosemary at Slammiversary, unifying it with the Global Force Wrestling Womens Championship that she held at the time. Those feuds converged with Allie’s building friendship with Rosemary and Karen Jarrett’s hatred for Sienna’s position in the company to create the multi woman tag match in which the heel side emerged victorious, as Sienna pinned Allie, via heel shenanigans. Karen Jarrett would step into the fray again later, announcing that Sienna would face Gail Kim, Allie and Taryn Terrell at Bound for Glory, though Taryn would have to later be removed, departing the company, unable to travel to Canada where the PPV would be located, leaving Gail without one of her biggest rivals for her assumed retirement match at the time before returning in 2019 to put over Tessa Blanchard in her official retirement match at Rebellion.
