This led to the breakup of The Rainbow Express, and Bruce's homosexuality was questioned by backstage interviewer Goldy Locks, who claimed she had seen him in the shower with April Pennington. In the next weeks, Bruce's tag team partner, Lenny, tried to get Bruce injured (since the runner-up would then take over the crown should the champion be injured). Although Estrada won the match, the crown didn't change hands because he won by disqualification. The two then had a singles match with the stipulation that if Estrada won, Priscilla would become the new Miss TNA. Bruce held the crown for three months and during his time as Miss TNA he attacked many female wrestlers and fans, enraging the male stars of TNA including Jorge Estrada. Although male, he claimed that he should be entitled to wrestle for the Miss TNA crown because he was gay.
Vaughn lost the title when she was defeated by male character Bruce a few weeks later. She defended the title against Francine, who soon afterward abandoned her pursuit of the title and engaged in a brief feud with Jasmin St. Taylor Vaughn won the first Miss TNA crown.

The name originated from a DVD release in 2006 by the company, Knockouts: The Ladies of TNA Wrestling, Vol.1, which focused on its then-current female stars. The term Knockouts is relatively new and was not used when Impact Wrestling (then known as NWA: Total Nonstop Action) debuted in 2002. 5.3 Most Inspirational Wrestler of the Year.4.8.4 Impact Knockouts Tag Team Championship Tournament (2020-2021).4.8.3 TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championship Tournament (2010).4.8.2 TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championship Tournament (2009).4.8.1 New Year's Knockout Eve Tournament (2009).3.1 TNA Knockout DVDs and Television specials.1.3 Impact Wrestling Knockouts Division (2007–present).Just when Gia begins to open her heart, a devastating secret emerges that threatens to destroy her family and any future with Andrew.
