Victoria Crawford Reflects On TNA Run: “I’m Forever Grateful For Them”

Victoria Crawford had a year-long run with TNA.

For the last year of her career, Victoria Crawford had been working with TNA Wrestling. In July 2026, the promotion announced that they came to terms with Crawford for a release.

Crawford opened up about her run with the promotion while on The Wednesday Hang with David Otunga.

“I went to TNA for a year and I knew a year would go by really quickly and then I felt that weird anxiety again like, ‘Oh my God, what am I gonna do after this again?’” She continued, “I mean, I’ve had some fun with TNA. It was different. But, it was short, you know? I knew it was gonna be short. I didn’t know how it was going to unfold, and that opportunity gave me the courage to get back in the public-facing part of wrestling, which I really, in my spirit, needed because in my innermost self, what I worked through was that feeling of not having to make myself better for the people. I thought, oh, you know, ‘After WWE, I’m gonna be better than Alicia Fox.’ I had all these expectations… I caught a loop coming in where I’m like, ‘I’m not trying to recreate, or fix.’ I’m not trying to be a better person for people. I’m trying to be myself, and the chance to wrestle as Victoria, it didn’t really occur to me until maybe just in the recent when someone asked me to sign ‘Victoria Crawford’ and I kind of thought about it and I’m like, for me, I’ve got a couple things still on my wrestling bucket list… It’s a pretty empowering thing to wrestle as yourself.”

Later in the conversation, she continued speaking highly of TNA.

“TNA gave me the courage to come back, front face forward, and I’m forever grateful for them. I talked a lot about WWE but, TNA definitely taught me a lot too.”

Crawford is in her 20th year as a pro wrestler. She remains active on the independent scene.
