The TNA Knockouts Championship was created in 2007, as TNA decided to start its own female division to showcase women's wrestling. The title is primarily contested among the lovely and lethal ladies of the TNA roster. For much of its existence, the TNA Knockouts have been acclaimed for producing quality women's wrestling in North America.
