Taya Valkyrie is also set to make her CMLL debut, with a date and opponent announced. In a separate video, Valkyrie announced that she will make her CMLL debut on the Friday, March 7 show against Lady Frost in a World Women’s Tag Team title qualifying match. Valkyrie is a former longtime AAA regular.

Valkyrie will be substituting for Red Velvet in the contest after Velvet announced that she is unable to compete due to injury.
