Elayna Black Reveals She Dreamed of Being Both a WWE Diva and TNA Knockout — And She’s Already Done Both

For a lot of wrestling fans who grew up in the 2000s, the debate was simple: WWE or TNA? For Elayna Black, there was never a choice to make — she wanted both.

The young wrestler has opened up about her childhood passion for women’s wrestling, explaining that she grew up idolizing both the WWE Divas division and TNA’s Knockouts roster simultaneously. Rather than picking a side, Black fell in love with what each promotion brought to the table and harbored ambitions of competing under both banners.

As it turns out, she’s already living that dream. Black signed with WWE at just 19 years old, giving her an early foothold in the industry at one of the biggest companies in the world. She has since moved on to TNA, where she is now part of the Knockouts division — completing a career path that, for her, was always the goal.

It’s a notable trajectory for someone still in the early stages of her career. Breaking into WWE as a teenager is an achievement on its own; transitioning to TNA and earning a spot in the Knockouts division adds another layer to her resume. The fact that she’s checked both boxes before most wrestlers have found their footing makes her story one worth watching.

With TNA continuing to build out its Knockouts division, Black figures to be one of the younger talents with significant upside on the roster going forward.
