'''Knockout''' is a term used by [[Total Nonstop Action Wrestling]] (TNA) to refer to its female talent.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.tnawrestling.com/knockouts/ |title=Knockouts - The Ladies of TNA Wrestling |access-date=2007-09-16 |publisher=Total Nonstop Action Wrestling|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071006094333/http://www.tnawrestling.com/knockouts/|archive-date=October 6, 2007}}</ref> The term is applied universally to [[professional wrestling|wrestlers]], backstage interviewers, and [[manager (professional wrestling)|managers/valets]].

==History==
===Early history===
[[File:Knocked out.jpg|thumb|right|200px|TNA Knocked Out DVD featuring former TNA Wrestling worker and authority figure [[Karen Jarrett]].]]
The term '''Knockouts''' was not used when Total Nonstop Action debuted in 2002. The name originated from a DVD release in 2006 by the company, ''Knockouts: The Ladies of TNA Wrestling, Vol.1'', which focused on its then-current female stars. The name "Knockouts" as a catchall name for the women stuck after that. Female performers have been a part of TNA since the first national show,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/tna/020619a.html |title=NWA:TNA weekly pay-per-view results - June 19, 2002 |access-date=2007-09-16 |publisher=Online World of Wrestling |archive-date=2007-10-12 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071012010325/http://onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/tna/020619a.html |url-status=live }}</ref> which featured [[Mickie James|Alexis Laree]], [[Elektra (wrestling)|Elektra]], Erin Bray, [[Francine Fournier|Francine]], Miss Joni, Sasha, [[Daffney|Shannon]], Taylor Vaughn and Teresa Tyler, as well as other female talent, including backstage interviewer [[Goldy Locks]] and valets [[Alicia Webb|Aleesha]] and Fluff Dupp. [[Cynthia Lynch|Bobcat]] also debuted as a valet in a match that was taped during the first PPV, but aired during the second PPV.

===Miss TNA (2002)===
A Lingerie Battle Royal to crown the first 'Miss TNA' was taped during the very first NWA:TNA weekly PPV on June 19, 2002, and was aired during the second PPV on June 26, 2002.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/tna/2002.html |title=NWA:TNA 2002 Results |access-date=2007-11-20 |publisher=Online World of Wrestling |archive-date=2007-11-11 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071111170145/http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/tna/2002.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Taylor Vaughn won the first Miss TNA crown.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.wrestleview.com/messages1/2024.shtml |title=TNA PPV results 6/26 |access-date=2007-10-15 |publisher=WrestleView |archive-date=2018-09-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180914203338/http://www.wrestleview.com/messages1/2024.shtml |url-status=live }}</ref> She defended the title against Francine, who soon afterward abandoned her pursuit of the title and engaged in a brief feud with [[Jasmin St. Claire]]. Vaughn lost the title when she was defeated by male character [[Allan Funk|Bruce]] a few weeks later. Although male, he claimed that he should be entitled to wrestle for the Miss TNA crown because he was gay.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wrestleview.com/news/1028817969.shtml|title=NWA:TNA weekly pay-per-view results - July 08, 2002|access-date=2007-09-16|publisher=WrestleView|archive-date=2013-12-25|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131225151957/http://www.wrestleview.com/news/1028817969.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref> Bruce held the crown for three months and during his time as Miss TNA he attacked many female wrestlers and fans, enraging the male stars of TNA including Jorge Estrada. The two then had a singles match with the stipulation that if Estrada won, Priscilla would become the new Miss TNA.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.wrestleview.com/news/1036645751.shtml |title=NWA:TNA weekly pay-per-view results - 11th September, 2002 |access-date=2007-10-16 |publisher=WrestleView |archive-date=2013-12-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131225152816/http://www.wrestleview.com/news/1036645751.shtml |url-status=live }}</ref>  Although Estrada won the match, the crown didn't change hands because he won by disqualification. In the next weeks, Bruce's tag team partner, [[Lenny Lane|Lenny]], tried to get Bruce injured (since the runner-up would then take over the crown should the champion be injured).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.wrestleview.com/news/1037252142.shtml |title=NWA:TNA weekly pay-per-view results - 13th November, 2002 |access-date=2007-10-16 |publisher=WrestleView |archive-date=2007-10-22 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071022160604/http://wrestleview.com/news/1037252142.shtml |url-status=live }}</ref> This led to the breakup of ''The Rainbow Express'', and Bruce's homosexuality was questioned by backstage interviewer [[Goldy Locks]], who claimed she had seen him in the shower with April Pennington. The storyline soon came to a close due to poor crowd reception, with Pennington and Goldylocks walking off together holding hands, as Lenny and Bruce fought over Pennington.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.tv.com/tna-pay-per-view/november-13-2002/episode/255485/recap.html |title=TNA Pay-Per-View: November 13, 2002 Recap |access-date=2007-11-20 |publisher=TV.com |archive-date=2008-12-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081227033241/http://www.tv.com/tna-pay-per-view/november-13-2002/episode/255485/recap.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> The storyline ended with Bruce declaring himself straight and handing his crown over to Pennington. The Miss TNA crown wasn't mentioned on-screen afterward. Throughout 2002, TNA also featured Belladonna in a valet role and former ''[[WWE Tough Enough]]'' contestant Paulina as a bodyguard.

===Post–Miss TNA (2003–2006)===
Women's wrestling continued to be a feature of the weekly PPVs before an official women's division was established in 2007. In 2003, cage dancers (many of whom were independent female wrestlers who were then unknown at the time, including [[Jaime Lynne|Lollipop]]) were used near the top of the entrance ramp, but this concept was abandoned shortly after its conception. One of TNA's early controversial moments ensued on the March 12, 2003, pay-per-view when Lollipop had her top ripped off during a catfight with [[Sports Entertainment Extreme|S.E.X.]] member Holly Wood and exposed her breasts throughout the fight. TNA also featured [[ring girl]] Athena in many feuds and altercations.

From 2003-2004, TNA regularly used several female wrestlers on their PPVs and television programs, including [[Trinity (wrestler)|Trinity]], [[Kim Nielsen (wrestler)|Desire]], [[Mickie James|Alexis Laree]], [[Traci Brooks]], [[Cheerleader Melissa]], [[Nurse Veronica]] (who also competed as Simply Luscious), and [[Cheerleader Valentina]] (who also competed as JV Love); however, they were often primarily depicted as [[manager (professional wrestling)|valets]] who occasionally wrestled. Of all the women utilized at this time, Trinity was the most active in the ring, as she feuded with Desire, Alexis Laree, and Traci Brooks, as well as competed in the [[X Division]]. During this time, TNA also briefly featured an all-female faction named "[[Bitchslap (professional wrestling)|Bitchslap]]" that consisted of Nurse Veronica, Traci Brooks, Cheerleader Valentina, and Trinity (who only appeared twice with the group). They were engaged in a feud with TNA dancers Lollipop and April Pennington.

Independent female wrestlers were frequently featured on ''[[TNA Xplosion]]'' and occasionally on TNA pay-per-views, including [[Angel Williams]] (who would later return as Angelina Love), [[April Hunter]], Brandi Wine, [[Daizee Haze]], [[Daffney|Lucy]] (who previously competed as Shannon and would later return as Daffney), [[Malia Hosaka]], [[Mercedes Martinez]], [[MsChif]], and [[ODB (wrestler)|ODB]] (who also wrestled as Poison).

TNA briefly recognized the [[NWA World Women's Championship]] in 2003. On March 12, 2003, [[Leilani Kai]] defeated Madison to win the NWA World Women's Championship in a dark match on a TNA pay-per-view.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://ladysports.com/nashville.htm |title=Explosion in Nashville |access-date=2007-11-20 |publisher=LadySports |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081225183858/http://ladysports.com/nashville.htm |archive-date=2008-12-25 }}</ref> On April 19, 2003, Kai defended the title against Desire at a house show, but she was later stripped of the title by NWA President Bill Behrens due to missing several subsequent NWA shows. According to Kai, she skipped the shows because she felt the NWA governing board was not treating the Women's Championship with the respect it deserved, such as not televising title matches on the TNA pay-per-views and ''[[TNA Xplosion]]''.

Fewer women's matches were featured toward the end of 2004 and throughout 2005; however, TNA did feature pay-per-view matches pitting Trinity against former WWE Diva [[Jacqueline Moore|Jacqueline]] and Traci Brooks. TNA also featured [[Stephanie Bellars|Minsa]] in an on-air non-wrestling role.

Following the debut of the ''[[TNA iMPACT!]]'' television program in 2005, TNA featured former WWE Divas such as [[Gail Kim]], [[Jackie Gayda]], and [[Christy Hemme]], as well as independent female wrestler [[Jaime Dauncey|Sirelda]] in prominent on-air roles and feuds. Although most of the prior female talent had left TNA by this time, Traci Brooks remained in an on-air role and TNA added a new ring girl, [[SoCal Val]] (replacing Athena) and backstage interviewer, [[Leticia Cline]] (replacing Goldy Locks). Gail Kim competed in a few matches that were televised and/or taped throughout 2006 against Sirelda and Traci Brooks, while independent wrestler [[Amber O'Neal]] competed at TNA house shows in matches against Kim and Jacqueline. In the fall of 2006, [[Sherri Martel]] appeared on ''TNA iMPACT!'' in her final televised appearance before her death the following year.

The formation of an official women's division began at [[Final Resolution (2007)|Final Resolution]] in 2007 as TNA spent the early part of the year building up the feud between Gail Kim and Jacqueline, who made her on-air return at the pay-per-view also during the summer a feud between Christy Hemme and [[Nicole Raczynski|Roxxi Laveaux]] took place. The first [[TNA Women's Knockout Champion]] was crowned on October 14, 2007, at [[Bound for Glory (2007)|Bound for Glory]] in a 10–Knockout gauntlet match which Gail Kim won with lastly eliminating Roxxi Laveaux.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiswjFPvUNY&feature=em-uploademail Girl Talk with Christy Hemme, Velvet Sky and ODB at the Arena that started Knockouts division] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140703133701/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiswjFPvUNY&feature=em-uploademail |date=2014-07-03 }} - [[Arena at Gwinnett Center]]</ref> Around this time, TNA signed several additional female wrestlers and personalities, including [[Angel Williams]], [[Amazing Kong]], [[ODB (wrestler)|ODB]], [[Shelly Martinez]], and [[Talia Madison]] who were then renamed after the PPV, as well as valet [[Karen Jarrett]] and new backstage interviewer [[Crystal Louthan]]. In a stark departure to TNA's past programming where their female talent were often promoted as [[Physical attractiveness|eye candy]] with little to no emphasis on athleticism or wrestling ability, in the same fashion as their WWE Diva counterparts during that time period, TNA's women's division emphasized on serious wrestling competition between their female talent, as well as their credibility on par with their male counterparts.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pv3wgrPT0zU|title=- YouTube|website=www.youtube.com|access-date=2016-12-01|archive-date=2016-06-03|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160603121953/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pv3wgrPT0zU|url-status=live}}</ref> Since the inception of an official championship, matches and segments involving the Knockouts have contributed to drawing some of the better ratings of Impact shows.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/TNA_News_1/article_25786.shtml|title=PWTorch.com - TNA Impact Ratings: Women's match once again highest rated of show, Machismo-So Cal Val segment bombs (w/Keller Reax)|website=www.pwtorch.com|access-date=2022-04-30|archive-date=2022-04-30|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220430232325/https://www.pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/TNA_News_1/article_25786.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref>

Since 2008, TNA continued to expand the women's division by featuring various prospective independent talents, veterans, and reality show winners such as [[Sharmell]], [[Taylor Wilde]], [[Daffney]], [[Lisa Marie Varon|Tara]], [[Ayako Hamada|Hamada]], [[Sarah Stock|Sarita]], [[Mickie James]], and  ''[[Survivor: The Amazon]]'' winner Jenna Morasca while Lauren Brooke became the new backstage interviewer at Lockdown and [[Daizee Haze]] who appeared in the first few years of the company returned in a one time match on May 1 losing to [[Cheerleader Melissa]] who was also pulling dual role under the Raisha Saeed gimmick at that time.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/TNA_News_1/article_43965.shtml|title=TNA News: Former WWE women's champion reportedly signs with TNA; when she's expected to debut|date=2010-09-22|last=Caldwell|first=James|access-date=2010-10-01|work=Pro Wrestling Torch|archive-date=2010-09-25|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100925040047/http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/TNA_News_1/article_43965.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref>

[[File:Sarah Stock & Shantelle Malawski.jpg|thumb|185px|right|upright|A picture of [[Sarah Stock|Sarita]] and [[Taylor Wilde]], the first [[TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champions]]]]
The division would see the start of many various changes when in August, Gail Kim's contract with TNA expired and instead of renewing it, she decided to return to rival [[WWE]] for a second run. At the start of the following year in 2009, [[Madison Rayne]] debuted in TNA on January 8 and became the third member of [[The Beautiful People (professional wrestling)|The Beautiful People]] alongside existing members Angelina Love and Velvet Sky which made the tag team a stable and the [[TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championship]] was introduced at [[No Surrender (2009)|No Surrender]] and Sarita and Taylor Wilde became the first [[TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champions]] when they won the final match of an eight–team tournament.

The women's division would see a start of vast departures in fall of 2009 beginning when Angelina Love left the company on September 3 due to visa work issue, Love was replaced by Lacey Von Erich in the Beautiful People stable and then immediately returned to the company the following year on January 14. Later on, [[Awesome Kong]], Alissa Flash, Roxxi, Traci Brooks, Roxxi, ODB, and Tara (although would return two months later on July 11 at [[Victory Road (2010)|Victory Road]]) all departed from the company mutually or due to controversial circumstances. Madison Rayne made history by becoming the first person to hold both the Women's Knockout Championship and the Knockouts Tag Team Championship simultaneously at [[Lockdown (2010)|Lockdown]]. On August 8, Francine appeared in a pre-taped interview at the ECW reunion themed Hardcore Justice and Lacey Von Erich, Hamada, and Taylor Wilde departed from the company at the end of the year. Despite departures during this time period, the division continued to grow.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/TNA_News_1/article_35021.shtml|title=TNA News: Top star in the TNA Knockouts division released|date=2009-09-04|access-date=2009-09-04|last=Caldwell|first=James|publisher=PWTorch|archive-date=2009-09-05|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090905230623/http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/TNA_News_1/article_35021.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.f4wonline.com/content/view/10694/|title=Lineup for TNA Impact tapings tomorrow night/TNA signs member of famous family to debut this week|access-date=2009-09-21|publisher=Wrestling Observer|archive-date=2009-09-24|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090924171613/http://www.f4wonline.com/content/view/10694|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/PPV_Reports_5/article_40727.shtml|title=TNA Lockdown Results 4/18: Keller's live ongoing PPV report with commentary - Team Hogan vs. Team Flair|first=Wade|last=Keller|date=2010-04-18|access-date=2010-04-18|publisher=Pro Wrestling Torch|archive-date=2010-04-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100420121249/http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/PPV_Reports_5/article_40727.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/tnappvs/article_42979.shtml|title=Caldwell's TNA Hardcore Justice PPV results 8/8: Ongoing "virtual time" coverage of ECW-themed PPV headlined by RVD vs. Sabu|first=James|last=Caldwell|date=2010-08-08|access-date=2010-08-08|work=Pro Wrestling Torch|archive-date=2018-03-25|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180325045101/https://www.pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/tnappvs/article_42979.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/TNA_News_1/article_45229.shtml|title=TNA News: TNA Knockout announcers her departure from the company effective today|date=2010-11-11|access-date=2010-11-11|last=Caldwell|first=James|work=Pro Wrestling Torch|archive-date=2010-11-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101115033105/http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/TNA_News_1/article_45229.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wrestleview.com/viewnews.php?id=1291690239 |title=TNA vacates titles at Impact TV tapings tonight |first=Adam |last=Martin |date=2010-12-06 |access-date=2010-12-09 |work=WrestleView |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101216165927/http://www.wrestleview.com/viewnews.php?id=1291690239 |archive-date=2010-12-16 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wrestleview.com/viewnews.php?id=1291929792|title=Report: Another Knockout done with TNA for now|first=Adam|last=Martin|date=2010-12-09|access-date=2010-12-09|work=WrestleView|archive-date=2010-12-14|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101214033841/http://www.wrestleview.com/viewnews.php?id=1291929792|url-status=live}}</ref>

After Kim's retirement, the Knockouts Championship would become vacant in late 2017 as a 6-woman tournament would be held in which [[Laurel Van Ness]] defeated Rosemary in the finals to win the championship for the first time.

Two years later, [[Gail Kim]] would come out of retirement in a storyline with [[Tessa Blanchard]]. Both eventually faced off at [[Impact Wrestling Rebellion|Rebellion]] as Blanchard defeated Kim. Kim would officially retire. Four months later, Tessa Blanchard became the first woman to main event at [[Slammiversary XVII]] against [[Sami Callihan]] in an [[intergender match]]. Most of the year of 2019 revolved around Tessa Blanchard and her continued feud with [[Sami Callihan]] and his faction, [[Ohio Versus Everything]]. Towards the end of the year of 2019 on the company's premiere on AXS Television, Blanchard became the number one contender for the Impact World Championship after winning a mini tournament. In this year also, [[Taya Valkyrie]] became the longest reigning Knockouts Champion surpassing [[Taryn Terrell]].

==Knockouts Division authority figure==
In August 2008, it was announced on ''TNAwrestling.com'' that Traci Brooks was officially in charge of the Knockouts Division as the [[Professional wrestling authority figures#Total Nonstop Action Wrestling authority figures|Knockouts Division Commissioner]], also known as the "Knockout Law".  On screen credit was given to [[Jim Cornette]] (at the time, the highest position of on-screen authority the fans saw), who was fed up with the Knockouts, and needed someone who "spoke their language" to control them. In January 2009, Brooks stopped appearing in TNA and Cornette resumed control over the Knockout division. Brooks returned on the March 12, 2009, edition of ''Impact!'' as a referee. She was released on March 4, 2010. Since the year of 2009, there has been five female talents who were appointed the role of authority figure in the women's division.
