Tasha Steelz won the Women’s Ultimate X match to kick off TNA’s Destination X pay-per-view.
Steelz became a two-time winner by securing the “X” with the help of Fire ‘N Flava partner Kiera Hogan. The match lasted less than ten minutes and featured a new lineup of participants after the travel issues impacting the show.
Gabby Forza, Xia Brookside, and Jada Stone were removed from the match due to the travel problems. The updated lineup consisted of Steelz, Hogan, M & Heather by Elegance, Shotzi Blackheart, and Shayna Baszler.
Shotzi scaled across the rope but was struck by Hogan’s kendo stick shots and dropped. With Hogan playing defense with the kendo stick to keep the coast clear, Steelz scaled across the rope to grab the “X” after nine minutes and ten seconds to earn a future Knockouts Championship match.
Indi Hartwell is the current champion and missed Destination X due to travel for her scheduled match with Baszler.
This was the third women’s Ultimate X match in TNA’s history. Steelz won the inaugural women’s match in January 2022 at Hard to Kill.
