Tasha Steelz is staying with IMPACT Wrestling.
Steelz made her IMPACT debut in 2019 and has been featured with the company since 2020. She is a two-time Knockouts Tag Team Championship, and she has also won the IMPACT Knockouts Championship. Steelz beat Mickie James at Sacrifice 2022 to win the gold.
In an interview with Jim Varsallone, Steelz confirmed that she has re-signed with the company and noted that she’ll be staying with IMPACT for a few years.
“I’m excited. Re-signing with IMPACT, so IMPACT gets more Flava, and I’m glad to deliver it for the next few years,” Steelz said. “So IMPACT fans, I know they’re very excited to hear the news. So yeah, I’m excited. More Flava to come.”
When asked about her decision to re-sign with IMPACT, Steelz made it clear that she wanted to keep making history , and she was confident that she would have the opportunity to do that with the company. She also stated that, more than anyone, IMPACT lets the performers be themselves.
“It’s just the fact of, ‘Was I done yet.’ You look back at it, okay, I’ve achieved so much. Two-time Knockouts Tag Team Champion, I’m a Knockouts Champion, first-ever Ultimate X winner. I’ve made history, I’ve basically wrote my name in the history books so many times. What else there is left to do?” Steelz said. “But then you just really think of it like, IMPACT has so many opportunities that they offer you and so much that happens. Just when you think you’re done, and you think, ‘Okay, I’ve done this so many times,’ they always come up with something new, and it’s just like, ‘Oh gosh, I want to do that. I wanna get to that’, whether it’s a new title, a new match, the first-ever, everything. So that was basically my thought process.
“I know there’s so many opportunities that is gonna present itself. There are some females, like I said, with Deonna and I, we haven’t really touched yet, and I definitely would love to that match later on down the line, if we can, fingers crossed. So those things were just crossing my mind and I’m like, ‘I have to stay because I have to accomplish these things.’ If there’s anybody that gives you that opportunity to really be yourself and just go out there and be yourself and not have to change you, it’s definitely IMPACT. So yeah, definitely had to stay here.”
Steelz was previously featured as a member of Fire ‘N Flava. The duo won the IMPACT Knockouts Tag Team Championship Tournament in 2021, and they later recaptured the gold. More recently, she has been aligned with Savannah Evans; they unsuccessfully challenged Jessicka and Taya Valkyrie for the tag titles at IMPACT Over Drive 2022.
