Xia Brookside is a TNA Knockout.
Brookside competed at TNA Hard to Kill in the Knockouts X-Division match, and by the end of the night, the company announced the WWE veteran had officially signed with the company. We can confirm that the two sides had been in talks for quite some time. This wasn't a case of her being signed after the match.
As far back as November, IMPACT/TNA and Brookside were in contact, and the company had extended an offer to bring her to the company. The deal was done before the PLE, so Hard to Kill was the first date on what we're told is a three-year contract. Her deal will run through 2026.
