Zoey Serrano is wasting little time identifying the TNA Knockouts she wants to meet in the ring next.
Since signing with TNA in August, Serrano has already competed in singles matches against Indi Hartwell and Harley Hudson. Those appearances have given the former WWE superstar an early chance to establish herself within a deep women’s division, but Serrano made clear that her list of desired opponents extends well beyond her first matches with the promotion.
During a recent interview, Serrano singled out Kiera Hogan, Jada Stone and Xia Brookside as wrestlers she would particularly like to face. She also emphasized that the wider Knockouts roster is loaded with potential opponents, leaving her eager to work with as many of them as possible.
Kiera Hogan reunion stands out for Serrano
The most personal name on Serrano’s list was Hogan, who has history with her dating back roughly six years. Rather than simply describing their past work together in conventional terms, Serrano recalled an incident from rehearsals while they were practicing her finishing move.

“I would love to actually work with Kiera Hogan again. Funny story about her. When we were wrestling, wow, six years ago, like I already said, we were working on my finish in rehearsals, and, you know, as my finish, I flipped them and gave them a knee, right? So she doesn’t have her hair clipped in yet. So I flip her, and her wig goes flying off. Yeah. In the woods. So now I think any time that we wrestle with each other, she’s going to make sure that thing is held down nice and tight.”
The story gives a lighthearted backdrop to a possible future encounter, but Serrano’s interest in a Hogan match is also rooted in familiarity. Wrestlers who have trained or worked together previously often bring a different level of timing and confidence into a match. That does not predetermine how a future bout would unfold, but it can create an immediate foundation for a compelling in-ring reunion.
Serrano’s recollection also illustrates how long-term connections can resurface when performers arrive in a new locker room. Her TNA run is still developing, yet the prospect of revisiting an earlier professional relationship offers a natural thread for fans to follow if the two are eventually paired in the ring.
Jada Stone and Xia Brookside also on the list
Hogan was not the only Knockout Serrano mentioned. She also directly named Jada Stone and Xia Brookside as opponents she would like to wrestle.
“Kiera Hogan is definitely one. Jada Stone. Xia (Brookside), I mean, all the girls. The TNA knockouts roster right now is stacked. So I’m excited to work with all of them.”
That answer is notable because Serrano did not limit herself to a single immediate target or frame her ambitions around just one rivalry. Instead, she described an interest in testing herself across the division. For a newer arrival, that approach is significant: every fresh matchup provides an opportunity to establish chemistry, show a different side of a performer’s game and give the audience a clearer sense of where that wrestler fits in the overall landscape.
A match with Stone would be an entirely new chapter for Serrano, while a meeting with Brookside would offer another high-profile chance to measure herself against an established name in the Knockouts scene. Neither match has been announced, and Serrano did not attach a timetable to any of the bouts she mentioned. Still, the names reveal where her attention is focused as she continues to gain experience in TNA.
A growing body of work in TNA
Serrano’s run in the company began with her August signing. She has since wrestled Hartwell and Hudson in singles competition, giving her two distinct early opponents as she adapts to the TNA environment.
There is an important difference between arriving with a recognizable background and becoming fully woven into a new promotion’s regular competitive fabric. Serrano appears intent on doing the latter. Her comments were not about looking past the division or narrowing her ambitions to a specific prize; they were about the value of facing the broad range of talent around her.
That is a sensible outlook in a roster as competitive as the one Serrano described. A women’s division gains from new combinations, particularly when a recently signed wrestler can be matched with opponents who bring differing histories, styles and personalities. Even without a title program or official rivalry attached, singles matches can build momentum and create the kind of connections that matter later in a wrestler’s tenure.
For Serrano, Hartwell and Hudson represent the first entries in that process. Hogan, Stone and Brookside could be among the next opportunities should TNA choose to make those matches. There is no indication that any particular matchup is imminent, but Serrano has plainly put several names on the table.
Why the Knockouts division offers so much to explore
Serrano’s praise for the roster was straightforward, calling the group “stacked.” That description carries weight because it reflects both the quality of the potential competition and the challenge facing anyone trying to carve out a lasting position within the division.
From a competitive standpoint, Serrano’s stated wish list offers several different narrative possibilities. The Hogan match comes with a real-world shared memory and the potential for a reunion between two wrestlers who have crossed paths before. Stone represents a desired opponent Serrano specifically highlighted without attaching it to past history. Brookside is another wrestler Serrano selected by name, showing that her interest is not confined to one specific circle of opponents.
The key point is that Serrano sees possibilities throughout the locker room. That broad perspective is especially useful at this stage of her TNA career. A wrestler who can work effectively with a variety of opponents is better positioned to remain relevant as the promotion’s stories and matchups evolve.
It also leaves room for TNA to take multiple directions with her. A future Hogan match could lean into their years-old rehearsal story if both wrestlers choose to acknowledge it on screen. A match with Stone or Brookside could stand on its own as a competitive showcase. Serrano’s comments do not confirm any creative plans, but they provide an organic starting point for several potential pairings.
No shortage of names for Serrano
At present, Serrano’s focus is clear: she wants to keep wrestling, keep meeting new opponents and make the most of the depth in the Knockouts roster. Her comments did not suggest hesitation about the transition into TNA. Instead, they reflected enthusiasm for the work ahead.
The anecdote involving Hogan may be the most memorable part of her answer, especially given the image of a wig flying off during rehearsal in the woods. But the larger takeaway is Serrano’s willingness to revisit familiar ground while also pursuing fresh challenges.
Her early TNA matches against Indi Hartwell and Harley Hudson have begun to establish that path. With Hogan, Stone and Brookside now publicly named as wrestlers she would like to face, Serrano has added more potential opponents to the conversation. Whether those encounters happen soon or later, she has made her objective clear: she wants to test herself against the full strength of the TNA Knockouts division.
