This NXT and TNA star talks about a worry she had growing up.

TNA’s No Surrender saw the coronation of a new TNA Knockouts World Champion.

The star in question is Arianna Grace, who is now on top of the TNA women’s roster after defeating Lei Ying Lee to win the title.

Grace is the daughter of the Director of Authority of TNA, Santino Marella. She began her wrestling career in 2020 and signed with WWE in 2022 as part of their developmental brand. Grace was a staple in the developmental program in two regimes.

In 2024, she began working with TNA Wrestling, another WWE-associated brand. She began working with her father, who is also a former WWE star, in a storyline where she would betray him and turn heel, siding with her fiancé, Channing ‘Stacks’ Lorenzo.

The Knockouts World Title win is her first major championship in wrestling, and she also made history as the first South-Asian woman to hold a major title.

She confirmed this historic moment on X

This makes me so proud! My grandpa (maternal side) was from Pakistan! Reppin! 🥰🥰🥰
