TNA Reveals Full Knockouts TV Title Tournament Bracket Ahead of Albany Tapings
Fresh off the historic announcement by TNA Hall of Famer Traci Brooks at Slammiversary, the landscape of the Knockouts division has officially shifted. TNA has pulled back the curtain on the complete 16-woman bracket to crown the inaugural Knockouts Television Champion, and the first-round matchups are absolute firepower.
With the action kicking off at the Broadview Center, the tournament features a brilliant mix of top TNA mainstays, dangerous indie standouts, and even cross-promotional wildcards from WWE NXT. But all eyes are instantly locking onto the newly crowned TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Champions, DemonXBunny.
First Round Matchups On The Horizon
The tournament is split into two stacked sides, guaranteeing massive collisions from the jump:
Indi Hartwell vs. Vicki Venuto
Harley Hudson vs. Thea Hail
Elayna Black vs. Wendy Choo
M By Elegance vs. Rosemary
Jada Stone vs. Alisha Edwards
Jody Threat vs. Gabby Forza
Mara Sadè vs. Tasha Steelz
Heather By Elegance vs. Allie
The Big Storylines to Watch
Double Championship Dreams? Both Rosemary and Allie are entered into the field as individual competitors. With Allie drawing a first-round war against Heather By Elegance and Rosemary matching up with M By Elegance, the dynamic of the newly crowned Tag Champions hunting single gold adds an incredible layer of psychological tension. Could Allie actually go all the way and become a double champ?
The NXT Invasion: Seeing NXT talent like Thea Hail and Wendy Choo embedded directly into a TNA mid-card title bracket shows just how deep this talent-share agreement is running. If both women secure their first two wins, they are on a direct collision course for a spectacular semifinal match.
The Blueprint's Block: Former Knockouts Champion Tasha Steelz draws a highly dangerous opening-round test against the rising Mara Sadè, a match that could easily anchor any main event on Impact.
The Verdict
By making this a strict, single-elimination 16-woman tournament, TNA is treating the new Television Championship with massive athletic prestige right out of the gate.
The action begins taping this Wednesday night in Albany, and the fallout is going to reshape the division for the rest of the summer.
