Since making her debut on the April 13th edition of NXT, where she interrupted Raquel Gonzalez and Dakota Kai, Franky has spent the better part of her time on the Black and Gold Brand scoping out the landscape. So far in the ring, Monet has had only one match. Albeit an impressive win over Cora Jade.

Make no mistake about it though, she’s champing at the bit for more action.

After over a decade in pro wrestling, Franky Monet is trying to make a new name for herself - literally. Known to fans around the world as Taya Valkyrie before she signed with WWE, there was a negative reaction from some when it was revealed she would not be keeping that name in NXT.

During an interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling this week, Franky Monet talked about making the change and why she’s excited to explore this new persona.

Franky had a blank slate to work with when she came into NXT, but she didn’t want to completely detach herself from the beloved character that fans were already familiar with. There are still elements of Taya Valkyrie alive and well in Franky Monet.

Slowly but surely, the evolution of Franky Monet will continue over time and she is looking forward to what the next year or so will bring.

After years of working toward her goal of making it to WWE, Monet feels as though she’s finally where she truly belongs and is having the time of her life so far.

Franky Monet is living her dream in WWE

One thing Franky Monet has made very public is her desire to be in WWE. She spoke with talkSPORTS’ Alex McCarthy earlier this year and mentioned the opportunities that come with WWE’s global audience.

Monet achieved her longtime goal of making it to WWE when she signed her deal with the company back in February. Sometimes, however, dreams can turn into nightmares. That dream job doesn’t turn out to be as great as you’d hoped it would be. Luckily for Franky Monet, that’s not the case at all.

When asked during her conversation with Sportskeeda Wrestling if the experience had lived up to her expectations so far, the answer was an unequivocal yes.

Tune in tonight to catch the encore presentation of Franky Monet’s world premiere. NXT gets underway at 8 pm EST on the USA Network.
