Valkyrie Is a villainous stable of female professional wrestlers who currently compete for the SHINE Wrestling promotion. The faction currently consists of Rain, Ivelisse, Allysin Kay, Taylor Made, and their manager April Hunter.

Formation (2013)
At SHINE 6 on January 11, 2013, Rain interfered in the main event and caused Amazing Kong to lose to Mercedes Martinez. After the match ended, Ivelisse, Allysin Kay, Taylor Made, and April Hunter all entered and attacked Kong before Rain revealed herself and her cohorts as Valkyrie. At SHINE 7 on February 22, Valkyrie competed in separate matches for the first time since the stable was formed, all in victorious outings. Kay, Made, and Hunter defeated Mia Yim, Su Yung, and Tracy Taylor in a six woman tag team match, Ivelisse defeated LuFisto, and Rain defeated Kong via disqualification. To date, this was Hunter's only actual match for Shine; she mainly served as a manager for her Valkyrie cohorts. At SHiNE 8, Valkyrie defeated Yim, Kong, Christina Von Eerie, and Angelina Love in an eight-woman tag team main event match.

Road to the SHINE Championship (2013-present)
SHINE 9 marked the beginning process of crowning the first ever SHINE Champion with four matches for spots in a round-robin tournament. Two of the matches featured Valkyrie members, with Rain defeating Angelina Love to advance, while Ivelisse lost to Jazz in a later match, marking the first loss for Valkyrie. At SHINE 10 on May 24, Kay defeated Nikki Roxx to advance to the tournament, while Made lost to Leva Bates. In matches not connected to the tournament, Ivelisse defeated the debuting Amber O'Neal, while the main event originally saw Rain defeat Angelina Love in a rematch from SHINE 9 with assistance from Kay. Due to Kay's interference, SHINE VP Lexie Fyfe ordered the match restarted and suspended Kay for 90 days. As for the restarted match, Love defeated Rain; handing Rain her first loss since serving as leader of Valkyrie.

An injury to Jazz would cause a second vacancy in the SHINE Championship Tournament, and it was announced that a pair of four-way qualifying matches would precede the actual tournament at SHINE 11. Taylor Made was originally scheduled to compete in one of the matches, but she took herself out of the tournament in protest of her partner Allysin Kay's suspension. On July 12, 2013, Ivelisse took part in one of the matches, defeating Amazing Kong, Angelina Love, and Kimberly to advance. In the first round later that night, Ivelisse defeated Santana Garrett and Rain defeated LuFisto. In the semi-finals, Rain defeated Jessicka Havok via countout after Saraya Knight attacked Havok outside the ring. Later on, Ivelisse lost to Mia Yim after Rain accidentally struck her Valkyrie cohort during the match. In the final match, Rain defeated Yim to become the first SHINE Champion.

At SHINE 12 on August 23, Ivelisse lost to Havok in a #1 Contender's three-way match that also included Yim. Later that evening, Rain defeated Havok to retain the SHINE Championship with the illegal use of the ring ropes. After the match, Rain and Ivelisse (along with April Hunter) attacked Havok in ring. before Rain was laid out by Angelina Love. At SHINE 13 on September 27, Allysin Kay returned and teamed with Ivelisse in a victorious outing against Havok and Kong, while Rain retained the SHINE Championship against Love.
