“I’m definitely going to be on that card,” Black said. “One way or another we’re going to make that happen. I’m definitely not going to have TNA in Chicago, my hometown, my city, and not be on the show. So we’re definitely going to make that happen. But I’m very excited. Every match on that show will be a steel cage match.
“If you’ve been a fan of mine for a while, you know that’s my cup of tea. I love it. I grew up a fan of hardcore wrestling. Jon Moxley was one of my favorite wrestlers. I love doing hardcore matches. I did a deathmatch right before I signed. I did the WarGames match. That’s my cup of tea. I love that kind of stuff.”

Black has also targeted Knockouts Champion Xia Brookside.
She made it clear that Brookside needs to take care of her as the days get closer to lockdown. Brookside won the championship over Lei Ying Lee at Slammiversary.
“So, No. 1, steel cage match. No. 2 in Chicago. And No. 3, Xia Brookside has a target on her back,” Black told Pak Gazette Digital. “That’s all I’m going to say. So, we’ll see. I have a little extra motivation being on that show. If I have my friends and family there, I’ll have a little more enthusiasm that day.
