Summary
Elayna Black said childhood devotion to TNA—especially The Beautiful People and Jeff Hardy—helped drive her decision to join the company after leaving WWE in 2025.
Black said she initially hesitated because of TNA’s WWE partnership, but chose TNA after a mental-health break and a reassessment of where she could best prove herself.
TNA’s creative freedom and its treatment of women’s wrestling ultimately won her over, with Black saying the company gives the Knockouts Division trust and room to perform.
Black, who signed to TNA’s main roster in January and is now 25, is already a Knockouts World Championship contender and a regular on Impact on AMC.
