List Of Impact Knockouts Champions
Being a professional wrestling championship, it is won via a scripted ending to a match or awarded to a wrestler because of a storyline. All title changes have occurred at TNA-promoted events; reigns that occurred on TNA's primary television program, Impact!, usually aired on tape delay and as such are listed with the day the tapings occurred, rather than the air date. The inaugural champion was Gail Kim who defeated Ms. Brooks, Christy Hemme, Awesome Kong, Roxxi Laveaux, Velvet Sky, Shelly Martinez, Jackie Moore, ODB, and Angelina Love in a ten–Knockout gauntlet match. Taya Valkyrie's first reign is the longest in the title's history, with 377 days. Gail Kim's seventh reign holds the record for shortest reign in the title's history at 18 hours, due to her relinquishing the title because of her retirement. Overall, there have been 65 reigns shared among 27 wrestlers, with four vacancies.
