TNA Wrestling confirmed today that it has re-signed Tasha Steelz. A loyal, trusted member of Order 4, Tasha is a former Knockouts World Champion and two-time Knockouts World Tag Team Champion. She made her pro wrestling debut in 2016 and first appeared in TNA Wrestling in 2019.
Steelz explained that she decided to re-sign with TNA Wrestling after a couple of days to decide whether she wanted to stay with the company that she’s been with for the better part of seven years.
“One thing about me is I’m a loyal girl, and I like to stay loyal, and I know that this Knockouts Division from day one has helped me. A lot of women in the division have helped me, and there’s no way I can turn my back on these ladies. So I have to stick around. I have to stay. I love my ladies very much.”
Tasha Steelz Re-Signed
If she’s currently a key member of the Order 4 stable headlined by Mustafa Ali, Tasha Steelz is focused on the Knockouts Division. “I have to shape the Knockouts division. We had NXT women coming in and taking our title, and we can’t have that anymore. It’s back home, and we’ve got to keep it back home.”
Steelz has also been a significant asset to TNA Wrestling for over six years, winning the TNA Knockouts World Championship and holding the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championship twice alongside Kiera Hogan. She is also the winner of the first-ever Knockouts Ultimate X match. At TNA Slammiversary 2022, she also took part in the inaugural Queen of the Mountain match.
In an exclusive interview last year, Steelz, known as the Boricua Badass, said how good she was feeling in TNA Wrestling. “TNA, most importantly, gives you a chance to be yourself and to develop yourself. You don’t have to be forced to change your identity or change anything that you don’t feel comfortable changing.”
Steelz should be at Mustafa Ali’s side at TNA Slammiversary 2026, as he prepares to defend his TNA International Championship. TNA Slammiversary 2026 will take place live from the Agganis Arena in Boston, MA, on June 28. The legendary Amazing Red will make his comeback at the event. We already know that all Championships would be defended, there would be an Ultimate-X match, and a Ladder match.

Tessa Blanchard Released
Some sources reported that Tessa Blanchard’s second run with TNA Wrestling has come to an end just weeks ahead of the company’s marquee pay-per-view. She is said to have asked for her release from the company and secured it. “We did not hear a reason for the departure. We’re told that her status with CMLL has not changed,” Sean Ross Sapp wrote in his Fightful report.
Sapp adds, “The common belief is that CMLL wanted Tessa Blanchard to choose between them and TNA. As they pay and book her more, she asks for her release.” Blanchard has been much more active for CMLL as of late, most recently competing at CMLL Domingo Familiar in Mexico City, Mexico, this past Sunday.
Blanchard was recently a part of the Diamond Collective faction, alongside Mila Moore and Victoria Crawford. Her final match for TNA came last month, when she defeated Harley Hudson on the May 28 edition of Thursday Night iMPACT! Blanchard, like Crawford and Moore, didn’t take part in the recent iMPACT taping sessions.
