Change made to TNA Knockouts World title match at Genesis

  • Ian Carey

A change has been made to the Knockouts World Championship match at TNA Genesis.

During tonight’s debut episode of Impact on AMC, Santino Marella announced that “due to an international visa crisis,” Dani Luna will not be able to make her scheduled match against Knockouts Champion Lei Ying Lee. This led to Sol Ruca and Zaria coming out to the ring, with Ruca suggesting that Zaria challenge for the title instead. Zaria then signed the contract and the match was made official.

Earlier on Thursday, Fightful reported that a number of TNA wrestlers scheduled to be at today’s show were unable to make it due to their visas not being completed on time, with Luna being one such wrestler.
