Ahead of Impact Wrestling’s big live Destination America debut this Wednesday, TNA has confirmed the re-signing of one Knockout and the departure of another.
Yesterday, TNA Executive VP John “Big” Gaburick tweeted several TNA re-signing announcements, the only Knockout being Madison Rayne:
Thank you @JohnGaburick!! Happy to be a part of #TNA for so many great years! Time to get my title back!!! ???????? pic.twitter.com/SlbOmjJjOE

Meanwhile, Brittany’s TNA departure has been confirmed. She has been moved to ImpactWrestling.com’s alumni section and her WrestlingKnockouts.com profile has been removed from the site. This follows last month’s rumors of her departure from the company, which an appearance at SHINE 23 seemed to corroborate.
Havok and Brooke have tweeted her own confirmations:
Who's ready for @IMPACTWRESTLING next week?! #ImNotGoingAnywhere pic.twitter.com/aEBEpAu6Hp

Gail Kim‘s re-signing hasn’t been announced, but she has debunked a report stating that she’s working on an per-appearance basis:
@WrestlingInc lol. Wrong.

Christy Hemme, meanwhile, is preparing to give birth any day now, so her return to TNA will take some time:

Three weeks ago, Angelina Love and Velvet Sky confirmed their own involvement in a post to Angelina’s Instagram:
Velvet has confirmed, though, that she won’t be taking part in TNA’s January tour of the UK:
“@legendthriller1: @VelVelHoller are you in the UK in Jan velvet ?”
No sorry.

Gaburick has promised more re-signing announcements for this Monday.
TNA premieres on Destination America this Wednesday with a live special at 9pm ET. The following week, Impact moves to Fridays at 9pm ET.
