Xia Brookside has certainly made an impact on Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) over the past few weeks.
As Brookside climbs the ranks to return to the TNA Knockouts World Championship, she seems to make an enemy along the way. Brookside helped Arianna Grace retain the title against Lei Ying Lee at Rebellion when she put Grace’s foot on the rope to break up the pinfall attempt.

Brookside was far from done with Lee. Last week, Lee wanted answers from Brookside. The English wrestler hugged Lee in the middle of the ring, but attacked her. Their quarrel intensifies.
Outside the ring, Brookside revealed on Sunday that she was starting “a new chapter.” She posted a video of herself being baptized.
“Something I’ve been considering for a very long time, after being consistent in going to church every week, reading daily and having the incredible support of my man, this seemed like the easiest decision I’ve ever made,” she wrote on X. “Thank you to everyone who came out to support me.”
