Tasha Steelz returned to the company for the first time since earlier this year on 9/14 at night 1 of IMPACT1000 after taking some time off.
Appearing on In The Weeds with Jeremy Lambert and Joel Pearl, Steelz recalled her experience in the match.
“That was amazing. That, I pushed for. Jordynne Grace and I pushed for that one. That, I don’t think it was supposed to happen, and us girls, we just kept pushing for it and pushing for it. We love first-ever. If the guys can do it, so can we. We show it every single time. When we finally did get the match, we were hella excited. When the set up happened, and I looked up, and I was like, ‘Oh, shoot, I might fall.’ The guys are like six feet tall so with them hitting the ground, they can land on their feet. I’m 5’3”, way shorter, so the impact is going to be worse. I’m the Boricua Badass, so there’s nothing that I can’t handle. It was a great experience doing it and being able to win it and be the first-ever Knockout Ultimate X winner, and if there is not another Ultimate X, which I believe there should be, I am happy to say that I will go down in history as the first-ever and maybe the only. It was fun, but the falling part hurt like hell,” she recalled.

Full interview:
Tasha teamed with Deonna Purrazzo this past Saturday on the dark match as they competed for the IMPACT Knockouts Tag Team Titles against current champions, MK Ultra. The duo fell short after Tasha accidentally kicked Deonna, which led to Killer Kelly landing a Death Valley Driver to Deonna for the victory.
What will become of Deonna and Tasha Steelz as a team going forward? I guess we’ll have to continue tuning in to find out.
