For over 20 years, Impact Wrestling has remained a constant within the world of professional wrestling. At one point seemingly coming close to becoming real competition for WWE, times have changed, and while the company is on a much smaller scale than it once was, it is hard to deny that the talent of Impact Wrestling features some of the best in the world.

Often considered to be one of the best women's wrestling divisions on the planet, Impact Wrestling's Knockouts Division has a storied past with names like Gail Kim, Awesome Kong, Tara, and Mickie James holding it down in the past. Now, in 2022, a new crop of Knockouts has risen up to bolster the division once again, with a number of them standing out as the best of the best.

10 Chelsea Green

Coming off an incredibly lackluster run in the WWE system, as a part of NXT and briefly the main roster, Chelsea Green would make her return to Impact Wrestling, a place where she was once Knockouts Champion. Having spent some time as a babyface, Green would finally turn heel on Mickie James in the Spring of 2022.

Since becoming a proper bad girl on television, Chelsea Green has already found significantly more success on the dark side, both delivering better promos, getting more ring-time, and also capturing gold alongside her real-life best friend, Deonna Purrazzo, as the duo named VXT, who currently hold the Impact Knockouts Tag Team Championship.

9 Tasha Steelz

A former Knockouts Tag Team Champion and Knockouts Champion, Tasha Steelz has tasted gold before within the company. Following the exit of Kiera Hogan from the company, Tasha would find herself getting a singles push, eventually winning her first Knockouts Championship before by dethroning Mickie James before eventually losing to Jordynne Grace.

While Tasha Steelz' future with the company remains up in the air, 2021 and 2022 have been pretty great for the Knockouts star, as she has seen her stock raised quite a bit from just being seen as a tag-team star alongside one of AEW's current Baddies.

8 Rosemary

A fan-favorite within the Impact Wrestling Knockouts Division, Rosemary has been a staple of the company for many years now. Currently teaming with Taya Valkyrue and Jessicka, the former Knockouts Champion and Knockouts Tag Team Champion remains one of the faces of the women's division in Impact.

While many fans have clamored for the female member of Decay to get a bigger push, it has really never come. Aside from regular screentime and briefly holding the Knockouts Tag Titles with Taya, Rosemary feels like a side character in Impact rather than one of the main stars. Even so, she remains one of the better wrestlers in the women's division and delivers when called upon.

7 Mickie James

Mickie James Knockouts Champion

For many fans, Mickie James will go down as one of the best women's wrestlers of all time. That is a fact that is hard to argue, with the Hardcore Country star having found success everywhere that she has wrestled. Having already spent part of 2022 as Knockouts Champion, James took a bit of time off before returning to kick off her "Last Rodeo Tour", in which she is vowing to retire should anyone on the roster beat her.

While things seem up in the air, James' in-ring work has fallen a bit compared to years past, though with the added retirement stipulation placed onto her on-screen storyline, she is sure to drum up quite some suspense in future matches for the company. She may not be at the level she once was, but Mickie James remains a star even in 2022.

6 Gisele Shaw

The definition of a breakout star, Gisele Shaw took Impact Wrestling by storm in early 2022, quickly making waves within the company to great effect. Shining brightly in tag team matches with Lady Frost and The Influence, Gisele has showcased that she has what it takes to be one of the future stars of Impact's ever-changing Knockouts Division.

With a spectacularly underrated singles bout against Madison Rayne taking place at Under Siege 2022, not only did Gisele Shaw prove that she can be a great tag team wrestler, but that she also has what it takes to be a great singles star for the company. Out of everyone on the roster, Gisele has some of the highest upside.

5 Killer Kelly

One of Impact Wrestling's most recent signings, Killer Kelly made her return to the company during the Summer of 2022. Having had a brief run with the company in the past, Kelly is back and seems poised to start a killer streak in the Knockouts Division.

With the current monster of the division, Masha Slamovich (who has not gotten to show off all that much), Killer Kelly will likely take her spot of getting the squash match treatment as it appears that the company could be building Killer Kelly up to be one of the next top knockouts. Already sporting one of the best looks in the division, and with an impressive resume to boot, Killer Kelly is one of the fastest rising stars in Impact Wrestling.

4 Mia Yim

Making her debut/return to Impact Wrestling in 2022, Mia Yim came in with fire. After not wrestling for almost an entire year while under contract with WWE, Yim would immediately become one of the top Knockouts in Impact Wrestling.

Putting on a number of excellent performances, including participating in the first-ever Queen of the Mountain Match and having an all-time great Knockouts Championship Match against Jordynne Grace, Mia Yim has already solidified herself as one of the best Knockouts in Impact within just a few short months! Should she stay with the company, Yim could very well be Knockouts Champion sooner than later.

3 Taya Valkyrie

WrestleMania 38 Weekend would see former Knockouts Champion, Taya Valkyrie make her return to the company. After being released by WWE months prior, the Lucha-based women's star would shock the Impact Faithful at Multiverse of Matches, a special PPV event the company hosted during Mania weekend.

Immediately stepping to former rival, Deonna Purrazzo, Taya would see herself challenging and winning the AAA Women's Championship! In the months since, Taya has shown her greatness off once again in the Impact Zone, becoming Knockouts Tag Team Champions with Rosemary and just delivering across the board.

2 Jordynne Grace

The current face of the Impact Wrestling Knockouts Division, Jordynne Grace won the belt at Slammiversary 2022, the company's biggest show of the year. Partaking in the first-ever Queen of the Mountain Match, Grace would stand tall over a number of the division's best and brightest. With a target on her back now from rising star, Masha Slamovich, Grace's second reign as Knockouts Champion could be over sooner than expected.

While that may be the case, it is hard to argue that Jordynne Grace has elevated herself and those around her over the past few years in Impact. Consistently putting on great matches with both men and women, Grace is a star that could shine for Impact for many years to come.

1 Deonna Purrazzo

deonna-purrazzo-knockouts-knockdown-impact-wrestling-1

Arguably the most talked-about Knockout around today, Deonna Purrazzo is a two-time Knockouts Champion and currently holds the Knockouts Tag Team Championships with Chelsea Green. Since arriving in the company in the Summer of 2020, Purrazzo has wrestled like she has had something to prove since coming in. Stealing the show regularly when it comes to Knockouts action, Deonna is the franchise player of the division.

Having appeared in ROH, AEW, AAA, and across the independent scene while with Impact, Deonna Purrazzo has become arguably one of the best women's wrestlers alive and is the name that fans think of when talking about the current Knockouts Division.
