Tapa lost to Gail Kim on the most recent episode of “Impact Wrestling.” She debuted with the company in February of 2013 when she lost to Ivelisse Velez on Gut Check, but was still offered a contract. She spent the rest of the year bouncing between the main roster and Ohio Valley Wrestling to develop more.
In her final match against Kim, she put her career on the line. This would explain her departure on-screen.
