JACKIE GAYDA
The latest addition to the TNA Knockouts along with Gail Kim and Traci, the lovely Jackie Gayda is set to make her TNA debut in the upcoming weeks on "iMPACT!" on SpikeTV.
The blonde beauty is a former "Tough Enough" winner, having competed in WWE for three years before signing with TNA Wrestling in November. With Gail Kim and Traci already commanding the spotlight for Total Nonstop Action, it will be interesting to see if the addition of Gayda will lead to the sharpening of claws among TNA's current femme fatales in the near future. In addition to her stunning beauty and athletic prowess, Gayda was also a track and field star and an All-Ohio athlete. "It's a very exciting time for me to join TNA Wrestling," Gayda told TNAwrestling.com. "I'm proud to be the newest 'TNA Knockout' and given the opportunity to prove myself again, but let me say this - this time things are going to be a little different. There's a certain situation going on that I plan to address, one that affects me on so many levels, but I'll leave it at that for now. To all my fans - see you soon on SpikeTV!"
