A new Knockout has arrived.
IMPACT Wrestling returned to Osceola Heritage Park in Orlando, Florida, on January 20 to tape content for upcoming episodes. During night one of their New Year’s Revolution event, a new Knockout debuted.
Steph De Lander, formerly known as Persia Pirotta in WWE NXT, made her debut against former Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace. Prior to the bout, De Lander reportedly cut a promo saying she would have the entire Knockouts division shaking in their boots.

De Lander was signed to WWE from March 2021 until she was released in April 2022. During her short time there, she was featured on NXT in a tag team with Indi Hartwell.
Also at the tapings, The Hex (Allysin Kay and Marti Belle) appeared and attacked The Death Dollz. They were introduced by Father James Mitchell, so they are seemingly aligned with him. Kay and Belle also compete for the NWA where they are former NWA World Women’s Tag Team Champions. Kay is also a former NWA World Women’s Champion.
