You're listening to Busted Open After Dark. And today I am joined by TNA Knockouts World Champion, Ariyana Grace, as she chats with us right after her big title defense against Jody Threat. This is the Busted Open Podcast. I am joined by the TNA Knockouts World Champion, Ariyana Grace. Ariana Well. Welcome, how are you today?
Ariyana Grace 0:28
Thank you so much. I'm doing fantastic. And I have to say I love hearing those words all together. TNA, knockouts, world champion, and Ariana Grace. Like it just goes together. So thank you. I think it
Denise Salcedo 0:41
definitely does, you know, uh getting to see you win your first ever championship. I guess let's start right there. How did that feeling uh feel for you to be able to win and now hold that strap that we see right behind you?
Ariyana Grace 0:58
Honestly, it was an amazing moment and I have to say it felt long overdue. I am a very self-confident person and I've known with the right opportunity that I would be a champion. So it felt sweet. It felt sweet to have that moment. And I saw all the hate online. I I heard all those doubters' comments. So it felt good to stick it to them and show them that I'm not only beautiful, I'm also strong, talented, and ruthless. I had an opportunity and I took it and I I will continue to do that over and over and over. I think we're uh
Denise Salcedo 1:34
we're definitely seeing that. And we also saw that play out today, too, in your matchup with Jody Threat. Uh with which you successfully defended your knockouts championship. Kind of went about it, you know, different means, but uh regardless, you still came out on top and with your championship. How'd you feel about your matchup uh with Jody Threat and the start of
Ariyana Grace 1:56
your reign? So oddly enough, Jodi and I actually had quite a bit of history. So going into this match, uh I was excited because I'm from Toronto, she's from Toronto, I've known her a long time. And Jodi, just like everybody else, is somebody who's consistently overlooked me, thought that they were better than me, and I came into this match with the title. And there was no way I was gonna let somebody who's looked down upon me, thought that she was better than me, take that s title out of my hands. And, you know, like I said, if there's an opportunity, I'm gonna take it. And she walked into that match with a frickin' red X on her ribs. Like, come on, hello. You literally put a a bullseye on your own body.
Ariyana Grace 2:44
Like, if you're that badly hurt, like maybe hide it because you showed me exactly where I needed to hit you to beat you. And I'll hit you where I have to to beat you. And I did it. So ha ha ha. Again, amazing, amazing first title defense. First of many. Because I'm not letting this championship go. It's it's mine.
Denise Salcedo 3:07
What do you think about the n current knockouts division? Because there are a lot of people who want a shot at that title. And we've seen a lot of people that have been, you know, as they're established already on that roster.

How did Arianna Grace feel winning her first Knockouts World Championship?

Denise Salcedo 3:18
There's a lot of people that are trying to make their names. Uh, there's a lot of women coming after you. Uh, what are your thoughts on some of the women that are there in that knockouts division?
Ariyana Grace 3:29
Well, I have to say, yeah, there are a lot of women, but most of all, they're a they're jealous. There's a lot of jealous women. Not to mention my match with Jody today. All of the knockouts had to come out and take up my screen time and come out during my match. Uh Tessa and her little really hogged up my T V time, taking their slow entrance. And to be honest, I don't think anyone even cares to see them. They Turned on the TV to see me and they took their sweet time. Same with Danny Luna, Indy, the Angel Warriors. Like, get out of here. It's my time. I'm the champion. And honestly, they really ticked me off. But of course, people like that are gonna try to take TV time from a real star. First of all, because they're jealous I'm from NXT, and second of all, they're jealous they could never be me even.
Ariyana Grace 4:19
Even if they tried. So I think it's funny. I think it's funny and I I encourage it. Um 'cause if you wanna be a Hayden Uh I can't think I can say that.
