Tasha Steelz On Being Part Of Knockouts Ultimate X, Hopes To Have Another One

Tasha Steelz was one of the competitors in the first Knockouts Ultimate X at Hard to Kill 2022, and she recently talked about pushing for the match and more. Steelz faced Alisha Edwards, Chelsea Green, Jordynne Grace, Lady Frost, and Rosemary in the match, and she spoke with Fightful’s Jeremy Lambert and Joel Pearl on In the Weeds about being part of the match and more.

“That was amazing,” Steelz said of the experience. “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.”

She continued, “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.”

Steelz was the victor in the match and earned a Knockouts Championship match with the win. She lost her initial title shot at No Surrender to champion Mickie James, but got a rematch at Sacrifice where she won the title.
