New TNA Knockouts World Champion crowned on Impact
Lei Ying Lee has defeated Arianna Grace to crown herself the brand new TNA Knockouts World Champion.
On Thursday, during the May 7, 2026 episode of TNA Impact, fans saw Lee defeat Grace in the main event of the episode to become a two-time TNA Knockouts World Champion.
WWE wrestler Channing ‘Stacks’ Lorenzo accompanied his fiancee, Arianna Grace, to the ring. However, toward the closing end of the match, Stacks was removed from ringside by the referee following his constant distraction and interference.
Lee would then drop Grace with a neckbreaker from the top rope to keep her down for the three-count. She had previously lost the title to Grace in February at the No Surrender special, but has now regained it.
Formerly known as Xia Li in WWE, she parted ways with the promotion and joined TNA in 2024, and is currently a two-time TNA Knockouts World champion.
