TNA Unveils 7th Title, Launching 16-Woman Knockouts TV Tournament

Q: Who are the 16 TNA Knockouts battling to become the first-ever Television Champion?

They have not been named yet. TNA announced at Slammiversary that a 16-woman tournament will begin on Thursday to crown the inaugural Knockouts Television Champion, but neither the news report nor the additional sourced material identifies the 16 participants. What is confirmed is that the title was unveiled by TNA Hall of Famer Traci Brooks during the Slammiversary pre-show in Boston, and that the new champion will be determined in a tournament with matches and future title defenses taking place exclusively on Impact television. The only Knockouts specifically mentioned around the announcement were Elayna Black, Indi Hartwell and Mara Sadè, who had just competed in a pre-show match. But TNA has not said whether those three are officially in the 16-woman field. So, at this stage, the answer is simple: the tournament is set, but the full list of 16 Knockouts has not yet been announced.

TNA used Slammiversary in Boston to introduce the Knockouts Television Championship, a new women’s singles belt that will become the promotion’s seventh active title.
A 16-woman tournament begins Thursday on Impact, where the championship will be defended exclusively, TNA Hall of Famer Traci Brooks announced during the show.
Elayna Black had just won a pre-show match over Indi Hartwell and Mara Sadè before Brooks revealed the belt, though TNA has not yet named the tournament field.
Brooks framed the launch as an expansion of opportunities for a Knockouts division TNA says has spent more than two decades reshaping women’s wrestling.
