AEW star Taya Valkyrie says wrestlers should make every second of television time count

During a Twitch stream, Nixon explained that their match was only going to be “three minutes” and they didn’t think it would benefit any of the participants.

While she didn’t directly reference the situation with Tegan and Miranda, AEW star Taya Valkyrie posted the following message via Twitter/X on Sunday night about the importance of having television time…

Make it count ❤️ And that’s my Ted talk.”
