Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Victoria Crawford, known to WWE fans for many years as Alicia Fox, is set for her in-ring debut with TNA Wrestling. It was announced on the May 1st episode of TNA Impact that Crawford will challenge Masha Slamovich for the TNA Knockouts World Championship at the upcoming Under Siege special event on Friday, May 23, 2025. Crawford made a surprise appearance on the live Impact broadcast alongside Robert Stone, who himself was revealed to be an authority figure sent to monitor TNA's Director of Authority, Santino Marella. Stone promptly appointed Crawford as the new Deputy Director of Authority and immediately used his power to book her directly into the Knockouts World Title match against Slamovich at Under Siege later this month. This booking follows Crawford's first appearance for the promotion at the TNA Unbreakable event on April 18th, where she had a tense ringside confrontation with the champion, laying the groundwork for this title bout. This championship opportunity marks a significant return to major promotion wrestling for Crawford.
