Xia Brookside was happy to join TNA Wrestling at TNA Hard To Kill but she isn't a fan of heights and doesn't want to do another Ultimate X Match.
Brookside joined TNA as part of the rebranding which kicked off at TNA Hard To Kill 2024 in January. Brookside participated in the Ultimate X bout which Gisele Shaw won.
Speaking with Sean Ross Sapp at Wrestlecon, Brookside revealed that she had signed with TNA for multiple years right after competing at TNA Hard to Kill and also revealed that she wasn't the biggest fan of her debut match because she's not a fan of heights.
"It is a multi-year. Honestly, I’m just very grateful for the opportunity. I signed right after Hard to Kill in January. So it was Hard to Kill Ultimate X Match that was terrifying because, I didn’t think we speak about it last time, but I’m scared of heights," she said. "I’m scared of heights and it’s getting worse. I don’t know why. I don’t know why, it’s become a thing recently. But I’ve hidden it for my whole career. Nine years, I’ve hid the fact that I couldn’t stand on the top rope. Ultimate X, I didn’t have a choice. I had to get up there. Even when I was stood on the top rope, I couldn’t reach the rope. So I had to climb the silver thing and you’re looking out in the ring. So it’s a bigger drop when you’re looking outside of it and I had to climb up there. I was shaking. I was sweating. I felt so sick. Like I walked into the venue the day before and I was literally freaking out. So I don’t know how I made it through that match, but I did and I came out with a contract. So it was worth it."
