The Impact Wrestling Knockouts Championship is a women's professional wrestling world championship owned by the Impact Wrestling promotion. It is primarily contested for in Impact's women's division, known as the TNA Knockouts. It debuted on October 14, 2007 at then-TNA's Bound for Glory pay-per-view (PPV) event under the name the "TNA Women's World Championship"; it was renamed the TNA Women's Knockout Championship in 2008 through 2010, then simplified to TNA Knockouts Championship until the promotion changed its name in March 2017.
It is currently one of two female championships in Impact Wrestling, along with the GFW Women's Championship. It had been complimented by the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championship, which was introduced at the No Surrender PPV event on September 20, 2009, but was deactivated on June 27, 2013.
Like most professional wrestling championships, the title is won via the result of a scripted match. Overall, there have been 44 reigns shared between 17 wrestlers. The first champion was Gail Kim.
TNA Knockout, or just Knockout for short, is the term used by TNA to refer to its onscreen female performers; this is similar to TNA's main rival World Wrestling Entertainment and their Divas pseudonym. TNA's first women's accomplishment was announced at TNA's first weekly pay-per-view event on June 19, 2002. It was called the "Miss TNA" crown. The holder of the crown was determined in a lingerie battle royal on June 19, 2002, which aired on June 26, 2002. The participants in the match were Alexis Laree, Elektra, Erin Bray, Francine, Miss Joni, Sasha, Shannon, Taylor Vaughn, and Teresa Tyler. Vaughn last eliminated Elektra to win the crown. The TNA Knockout of the Year is another award in TNA given to the knockout who achieved the most or had the best run that year. The most recent Knockout of the Year was Gail Kim in 2007; no award has been given out since.
