When it comes to her future, Tasha Steelz is keeping her options open.
Steelz is a former IMPACT Knockouts World Champion. She also won the Knockouts Tag Team Championship twice with Kiera Hogan. Steelz continues to compete for IMPACT, but as with many top stars, she could be a buzzworthy free agent once her contract is up.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Steelz discussed her future and stated that, while she has already enjoyed plenty of success, she still has a lot more that she wants to accomplish. She noted that she has options, and her path forward is up in the air.
"Oh absolutely [there is more to accomplish]. I do actually make a list for myself, and it’s crazy because every time I’m doing a interview with somebody and they’ll say, 'Oh, what do you see yourself doing in five years?' Or 'What’s your dream match?' Every time, I would mention it, it would happen. So kinda like a manifestation, right. So we’re just manifesting in the fact we that I’ll have my time with IMPACT and once that time comes for me to really make that decision of okay, what does Tasha Steelz do next, we’ll see if it goes into WWE, if it stays with IMPACT, if it goes with AEW, you just never know. All this flava can be spread around. Flava is forever, and not everybody has it, so you gotta share the wealth there," Steelz said.
Steelz went on to explain that she has goals, and there are some dream matches on her list, but it's possible that she might have to go elsewhere in order to have them. She made it clear that these bouts are at the top of her list of priorities.
“I have dreams, I have goals. There’s so many people I would love to get in the ring with. Unfortunately, we don’t have that Forbidden Door to do that. So if that means I have to go elsewhere to have these dream matches, that’s fine, but I like to keep my options open because there’s many great talents out there that I would love to mix it up with. Before I can’t anymore, I need to get that done. That’s at the top of the list for me," Steelz said.
When asked to describe what her dream scenario would be, Steelz noted that she has mixed emotions, as each potential destination could allow her to fulfill a dream. She emphasized that she is keeping an open mind, and she's confident that she'll shine wherever she goes.
“It’s mixed emotions for me. I wanna main event an IMPACT pay-per-view. I think I’ve done a couple of their first-evers with the rest of the Knockouts and have won, so I’ve done that. I’ve been the world champion there, done that, been a two-time Knockouts Tag Team Champion there. I’ve done that. Also, I would love for Fire 'N Flava to have a reunion. So that also runs through my mind. I also want to have which is what everybody wants to have, is their WrestleMania moment. So it’s just such a mixed emotions of just wanting to combine all three, and you can’t. [Laughs] But I’m just keeping an open mind, and wherever I am and me being currently at IMPACT right now, wherever I go in the future, I know me being the brightest star in the sky, I’m gonna shine regardless," she said.
Steelz recently teased that she doesn't need a Forbidden Door to show up in AEW. Her comments are available here.
