“The TNA Knockouts, over two decades, have changed the landscape of pro wrestling,” Brooks said. “Hell, the TNA Knockouts started the women’s revolution. We shattered glass ceilings. We rewrote the rules. We created opportunities and time and time again proved why we belong on the biggest stage. And now, it’s time to make history once again.
“Starting this Thursday night, there will be a 16-woman tournament beginning. And at the end of that tournament, we will crown the first-ever TNA knockout television champion.”
The belt was brought out and it featured the letters “KO” and “TV” in purple and black lettering.
Those who will be featured in the tournament have not been announced thus far. Black, Hartwell and Sadè could very well be in that tournament, starting on “Impact.”
“This championship will be defended exclusively on ‘Impact’ television,” Brooks continued. “And to my knockouts, it’s an opportunity once again to prove that you are the greatest women’s division in professional wrestling.
“Ladies, let’s make history.”
