The announcement reads:
THANK YOU Impact Wrestling. I will always be grateful for the opportunities I received, and the people who had faith in me. Thanks to everyone both in front of, and behind the camera, the production team, and most importantly my fellow Knockouts. I have grown as a wrestler, and a performer because of the amazing locker room at Impact. I have been granted my release, am excited for the future, and I can’t wait to see what 2018 holds.
Van Ness recently won the Knockouts championship, which you see below:
Editor’s Opinion:
While I wasn’t too familiar with her work, I was very impressed with the few clips I did see of her. With the Women’s “Royal Rumble” match coming up, could she be one of the surprise entries? We’ll see!
