After nearly two years of anticipation, British standout Harley Hudson has officially arrived in TNA Wrestling.

The 2023 Gut Check winner finally made her in-ring debut during the May 1–2 TV tapings in Irvine, California, following a long visa delay that kept her from stepping into a TNA ring. Hudson wrestled twice over the two-night stretch—first in singles action against Myla Grace, then teaming with Grace in tag competition—marking her long-awaited introduction to TNA fans.

Despite winning the developmental tryout competition back in 2023, visa complications prevented the 22-year-old from making her U.S. debut until now. According to Fightful Select, former TNA executive Gail Kim played a crucial role behind the scenes to get Hudson’s visa approved. Kim, who departed TNA in March, reportedly pushed for the company to fast-track the process, personally vouching for Hudson’s talent and potential.

Hudson has now signed a one-year deal with the promotion, making her the latest addition to an increasingly international and youthful Knockouts division. Starting her wrestling journey in 2017, Hudson has built her name across the UK indie circuit, collecting both singles and tag team gold along the way. Known for her scrappy energy and in-ring versatility, she brings a fresh presence to the TNA women’s roster.

Her signing follows a wave of recent Knockouts division reinforcements, including the additions of ex-WWE star Indi Hartwell, who joined the promotion after being let go by WWE last year and 24-year-old Maggie Lee, who debuted earlier this year and also wrestled at the recent California tapings.

As TNA continues to invest in fresh talent, Harley Hudson’s arrival feels like a long-overdue step forward—and potentially the start of something big.

Will Hudson live up to the hype that’s been building for the past two years? Time will tell, but she’s finally got her foot in the door.
