10 Female TNA Wrestlers With The Most Championship Victories

When TNA Impact Wrestling launched its Knockouts Division, the idea was to present pure wrestling rather than the Divas bikini matches and pillow fights on WWE. They even had the perfect person to center it around in WWE castoff Gail Kim.

Over the years, TNA had its ups and downs in the division, with top names like Kim and Mickie James showing up as well as other moments where comedy acts like ODB and more WWE-flavored wrestlers like The Beautiful People ruled the division. With 13 years of history and counting, here are the 11 female TNA wrestlers with the most championships.

11 WINTER - 3

No one talks about her anymore, but when Winter showed up in TNA, she had a lot of steam behind her. She worked as Katie Lea Burchill in WWE, and most fans believed she was underused and underrated there. TNA responded by giving her three title reigns. In 2010, she was one-half of the Knockouts Tag Team Champions with Angelina Love, and she also held the Knockouts title twice in 2011, beating Mickie James for both reigns.

10 VELVET SKY - 3

Velvet Sky was part of the Beautiful People with Angelina Love and Madison Rayne. While Love was the top singles star in the faction, Velvet Sky had a chance to run with titles too. She was a former Knockouts Tag Team Champion with Lacey Von Erich and Madison Rayne using the Freebird Rule. She was also a two-time Knockouts Champion, beating Winter in 2011 and Tara in 2013 for the title.

9 ALLYSIN KAY - 3

Allyson Kay was in TNA for just two years, from 2016-2018. She ended up leaving to return to Shine and recently also made her name known at NWA Power, winning its women's title. However, while in TNA, Kay was a star under the ring name Sienna. Just two months after her debut, she beat Jade for the Knockouts Title. She also won the GFW Women's Championship and later defeated Rosemary to unify it with the Knockouts title.

8 AWESOME KONG - 3

The most dominant Knockouts Champion in history is easily Awesome Kong. At 272 pounds, she dwarfed anyone standing in the ring with her and was almost unstoppable.

In 2008, Kong became the second-ever Knockouts Champion when she beat Gail Kim, and she held the title for 169 days. She lost it to Taylor Wilde but then won it back and had a 178-day title reign. Kong also held the tag titles with Hamada.

7 MICKIE JAMES - 3

Mickie James was one of WWE's most successful women's wrestlers since the turn of the century. She won six titles there and went to TNA where she added three more title reigns to her career. In TNA, James won the Knockouts Title three times, beating Madison Rayne, Winter, and Velvet Sky, meaning all three wins were over women associated with The Beautiful People. Her three combined title reigns were for a total of 241 days.

6 BROOKE - 4

Brooke Tessmacher made her debut in WWE when she appeared on the ECW brand in 2007. However, by the end of the year, she was gone, released from her contract. She moved on to TNA and became the commissioner of the Knockouts Division under the rule of Eric Bischoff.

She ended up becoming a wrestler and was pretty successful. She beat Gail Kim for her first title and Madison Rayne for her second. She then ended the 279-day reign by Taryn Terrell for her third. Her fourth title was the tag titles with Tara as a partner.

5 ODB - 5

ODB was unlike any other TNA female wrestler on the roster. She was a brawler and worked both in a comedy gimmick and as a butt-kicker, often at the same time.

ODB was a four-time Knockouts Champion, beating Angelina Love, Tara, Mickie James, and even winning a title by beating a guy named Cody Deaner. ODB also won the tag titles, strangely enough, with a male partner in Eric Young.

4 TARA - 6

Lisa Marie Varon was a great wrestler, no matter where she competed. She worked in WWE as Victoria, where she was a two-time Women's Champion. When Varon went to TNA Impact Wrestling, she changed her name to Tara and was even more successful. She won the tag titles once with ODB and was a five-time Knockouts Champion. She beat ODB twice, Angelina Love two times, and her final reign was after beating Brooke, for a total of 222 days as champion.

3 MADISON RAYNE - 7

When Madison Rayne made her debut in TNA, she looked undersized and less talented than even The Beautiful People, who she both feuded with and aligned with. However, over time, she ended up more successful than almost any female wrestler in TNA.

Rayne was a two-time tag team champion, once with The Beautiful People under the Freebird Rule and once with Gail Kim. She also had five Knockout Championship reigns. She is tied for third for Knockouts title reigns and third for the length of time as champion (404).

2 ANGELINA LOVE - 7

Only one person had more reigns as TNA Knockouts Champion than Angelina Love, who won six titles as a singles star. However, her total combined 226 days as champion ranks eighth all-time, behind even some women with only one championship win. Three of her six title wins all came against Madison Rayne. She also beat Tara twice and won it in a three-way from Awesome Kong by beating Taylor Wilde. Love also held the tag team titles with Winter as a partner in 2010.

1 GAIL KIM - 8

Gail Kim was who the TNA Knockouts division was built around, and she was the first champion. She won the title in October 2007 by winning a 10-woman gauntlet match. However, after losing the title in 2008, she didn't win it back again until 2011.

While many accuse Kim of being champion too much, she ironically had seven title reigns but never won the championship twice in the same year throughout her TNA tenure. She ended up with eight total championship wins, as she was also a tag team champion with Madison Rayne in 2011.
