At Slammiversary, TNA announced they were adding one other championship to their Knockouts Division, with TNA Hall of Famer Tracy Brooks announcing the Knockouts Television Championship. Now a number of days later, TNA has unveiled who will likely be competing for the championship, including a number of names from outside of the promotion. Taking to X within the early afternoon, TNA revealed the official bracket for the tournament to crown the primary ever TNA Knockouts TV Champion, revealing that the tournament would happen over the approaching weeks on “TNA Impact,” though they didn’t provide an official start date for the competition.
BREAKING: The complete bracket for the Knockouts Television Title tournament has been revealed – the tournament will play out over the approaching weeks every Thursday on #TNAiMPACT and you may see the motion first in Albany this Wednesday and Thursday!

The tournament will feature sixteen wrestlers, most of that are a part of the TNA Knockouts roster. Nevertheless, it’s going to also feature three names not signed to TNA, including indie wrestler Vicki Venuto, who previously worked for TNA earlier this yr, and two wrestlers from WWE. Those two wrestlers are none aside from “NXT” star Thea Hail, and former WWE EVOLVE Women’s Champion Wendy Choo. Hail will square off against Harley Hudson, while Choo will face off against former “NXT” star Elayna Black.
While this will likely be Hail’s first ever foray into TNA, Choo wrestled there several times in the autumn of 2024, difficult Jordynne Grace for the Knockouts Championship, then later teaming, and feuding, with Rosemary, who Choo could face within the second round of this tournament. Hal and Choo’s participation also appears to reaffirm TNA and WWE’s working relationship, which had seemingly been on lower than stable ground recently as WWE pulled back on talents appearing on “TNA Impact.” The lone exception has been Arianna Grace and Channing Stacks, because the “NXT” stars have continued their feud with Grace’s father, TNA authority figure Santino Marella.
