Impact Wrestling (2020–present)

Steelz made her Impact Wrestling debut on the May 17, 2019 episode of Impact!, where she competed in a Knockouts battle royal, which was won by Glenn Gilbertti.[15] Steelz made her return to the company on the May 12, 2020 episode of Impact!, where she unsuccessfully challenged Kylie Rae.[16] On May 13, Impact Wrestling announced that Steelz has signed with company.[4]

With Steelz arriving to Impact Wrestling, she quickly formed an alliance with Kiera Hogan, establishing themselves as the villainous duo of the Knockouts division. On the June 2 episode of Impact!, Steelz won her first match on Impact, as she teamed with Hogan where they defeated the team of Rae and Susie.[17] Hogan and Steelz, now known as Fire 'N Flava, found themselves feuding with Havok and Neveah, which led into a no disqualification match on the August 11 episode of Impact!, where Hogan and Steelz were victorious, ending their feud with Havok and Nevaeh in the process.[18] On January 16, 2021, at Hard to Kill, Hogan and Steelz defeated Havok and Nevaeh to become the new Impact Knockouts Tag Team Champions.[19] On April 25 at Rebellion, they lost the titles to Jordynne Grace and Rachael Ellering, ending their reign at 99 days.[20] On May 15, at Under Siege, Hogan and Steelz won them back to become two-time champions.[21] On the Slammiversary pre-show, they lost the titles to Decay (Havok and Rosemary).[22][23][24] On the August 5 episode of Impact!, Savannah Evans attacked Hogan as Steelz only watched, thus disbanding Fire 'N Flava.[25][26]

On July 31 at Homecoming, Steelz teamed with Fallah Bahh to compete in a tournament to crown a Homecoming King and Queen, but were defeated by Decay (Crazzy Steve and Rosemary) in the first round.[27] At Emergence, she teamed with Bahh, No Way, and Savannah Evans for an eight-person tag match, losing to Decay (Steve, Rosemary, Havok, and Black Taurus).[28] In October, Steelz competed in the Knockouts Knockdown tournament, to determine who will get a future shot at the Impact Knockouts Championship, defeating Jamie Senegal in the quarterfinals, Chelsea Green in the semifinals, but lost to Mercedes Martinez in the final.[29] At Bound for Glory, she participated in the Call Your Shot Gauntlet match, where the winner could choose any championship match of their choice, eliminating Rachael Ellering but was eliminated by Melina.[30]

On January 8, 2022, at Hard to Kill, Steelz won the inaugural Knockouts Ultimate X match to become the number one contender for the Impact Knockouts World Championship.[31][32] On February 19 at No Surrender, she went up against Mickie James for the title in a losing effort.[33] On the March 3 episode of Impact!, Steelz defeated Chelsea Green to get another shot at the title.[34][35] Two days later, at Sacrifice, she defeated James to win the Impact Knockouts World Championship for the first time.[36] On the March 24 episode of Impact!, Steelz made her first successful title defense against James in a Street Fight.[37] At Multiverse of Matches, she teamed with Savannah Evans in a four-way tag team match for the Impact Knockouts World Tag Team Championship, which was won by The Influence (Madison Rayne and Tenille Dashwood).[38] Steelz then retained her title against Decay, beating Rosemary at Rebellion, and Havok at Under Siege.[39][40] On June 19 at Slammiversary, she lost the title to Jordynne Grace in the inaugural Queen of the Mountain match, ending her reign at 106 days.[41] On July 1 at Against All Odds, Steelz failed to recapture the title from Grace in a rematch.[42]

On the August 4 episode of Impact!, Steelz started a feud with the debuting Killer Kelly, commentating a match between two local talents that the latter took out afterwards.[43][44] The following weeks saw Steelz and Savannah Evans getting attacked by Kelly.[45][46][47] On September 23, at the Countdown to Victory Road pre-show, Steelz defeated Kelly by disqualification.[48] At Bound for Glory, Steelz competed in the Call Your Shot Gauntlet, eliminating Evans and Kelly but was eliminated by eventual winner Bully Ray.[49] The following night (which aired on tape delay on October 13), she lost to Kelly in a no disqualification match.[50][51]
