A former AEW star and former TNA champion made their return to TNA on last night’s Lockdown pay-per-view.
Kiera Hogan made a surprise return to TNA Wrestling at Lockdown, replacing the injured Rosemary and helping Allie retain the Knockouts World Tag Team Championship. Allie entered the August 23 event without an announced partner after Rosemary was ruled out because of an injury suffered at a Firestar Pro Wrestling event.

Her replacement remained listed as TBA heading into the steel cage match against The Elegance Brand, with Hogan ultimately revealed as the mystery partner. The appearance marked Hogan’s return to TNA after previously competing for the promotion between 2017 and 2021.
During the match, Heather By Elegance managed to crawl through the cage and retrieve a pair of handcuffs. She used them to secure Allie to the cage wall, temporarily leaving Hogan at a disadvantage against The Elegance Brand.
Mr. Elegance also became involved from ringside, but Hogan survived the interference and ultimately scored the pinfall to secure the victory. The result means Allie remains one-half of the Knockouts World Tag Team Champions, with Hogan stepping into Rosemary’s place alongside her.
Kiera Hogan Returns To TNA After Five Years Away
Lockdown also marked Kiera Hogan’s first wrestling match in more than a year. She had not competed since April 2025 and later confirmed her departure from AEW in October of that year, ending a four-year spell with the promotion.
Hogan originally joined TNA in 2017 and became a regular member of the Knockouts division during her first run. Her most notable success came alongside Tasha Steelz as Fire ‘N Flava. The pair captured the Knockouts World Tag Team Championship twice before Hogan departed the company in 2021.
She subsequently joined AEW, where she competed across the company’s women’s division before eventually leaving in 2025. Hogan’s return immediately places her back in the Knockouts title picture, although it remains unclear whether her appearance at Lockdown represents the beginning of another extended TNA run.
It is also unknown whether Hogan will remain Allie’s championship partner going forward or if Rosemary will reclaim her position in the team once she has recovered from her injury.
