Two injuries to Tasha Steelz in 2023.
In 2023, Tasha Steelz missed a total of seven months due to injuries. She was sidelined for six months after getting hurt in March.
She returned at IMPACT Wrestling 1000 and then shortly after, she was sidelined again before returning in mid-December. She opened up about that period of her career while on Busted Open.
It was nerve-wracking (being out of action). It was just heartbreaking for me. When you suffer an injury, any injury, it doesn’t matter what it is, how big or small, when you suffer an injury and you know you have to sit back at home and recover, you wanna recover tomorrow, and you wanna recover tomorrow, you’re like, alright, I’m good to go… I believe I was sitting out for like a good six months and then I came back at IMPACT 1000 last year and it felt so good to get that reaction in New York and then I went out again because a couple months later, we did our loop in Windsor which is the cursed building! And then I went out again which was even more heartbreaking for me because I’m just coming back and just to go out again from an injury, it sucked and it’s just a waiting game. But at the same time, if you have that hustler’s mentality and you have that hunger, you just sit back and are like, there’s other things you can do to get yourself back in that main event spot or get yourself back to have a spot period and that’s just improving… Up your training in the gym, up your training in the ring, get yourself healthy, 10 times healthier and then you just go out there and you prove your spot and that’s what I did.
The 3/21 edition of TNA iMPACT is going to feature Steelz in a title match. She’ll be challenging Jordynne Grace for the Knockouts World Championship.
