All good things must come to an end.
Collectively known as Fire ‘N Flava, Tasha Steelz and Kiera Hogan won the IMPACT Knockouts Tag Team Championship Tournament in 2021, and they held the titles twice overall. Upon Hogan’s departure from the company, Steelz began her run as a singles wrestler, and she has already climbed into the forefront of the title scene.
During an interview with Denise Salcedo of Instinct Culture, Steelz reflected on the Fire ‘N Flava chapter of her career and discussed her excitement about having the chance to shine by herself. Moving forward, she vowed to bring the “flavor” more than ever before.
“Well, my thing was is if I’m gonna be on my own, then I immediately need to show these people that I’m going straight to the top,” said Hogan. “I’m not just gonna settle with just being a singles competitor and get single matches every now and then. I’m going to show all this flavor, and you’re going to get it 101 and I’m going straight to the top. That was my initial thing coming into IMPACT.
“So being able to tag with Kiera was a bonus for me, but now that I’m going back as a singles competitor, it’s great, it shows that I get to showcase myself instead of sharing the spotlight, which I didn’t mind because me and Kiera helped each other out. But now it’s just about me, and it’s about me showing who I am and why I’m here. Like I said, I brought the flavor when I came into IMPACT in 2020, and now I’m going to show why I brought in that flavor when I came in, in 2020.”
Steelz’ climb to the top will continue at IMPACT Wrestling No Surrender; there, she’ll challenge IMPACT Knockouts World Champion Mickie James for the title.
