“TNA has always been good to me and supported me in every step of my career,” said Mickie James. “It’s no secret that I think the TNA Knockouts Division is the crème da le crème of women’s wrestling. I am so honored to have the Knockouts Division represented on this groundbreaking event as we show Australia what women’s wrestling is all about. The idea that the Knockouts World Championship is on the line at HER is huge.”
Cam Vale, of Oceania Pro Wrestling, added: “TNA made such a positive impact in and out of the ring last year during the IMPACT Down Under Tour. I am very excited to have them return to Australia, this time in Ballarat, as part of the Visit Victoria-supported Starrcast Down Under (event).”
