Xia Brookside Credits WWE Star Saraya as Key Inspiration

Xia Brookside, the TNA Knockouts World Champion, has expressed admiration for WWE star Saraya, recognizing her as a major inspiration in her wrestling career. Brookside, who followed in the footsteps of her father Robbie Brookside, highlighted Saraya's achievements as a role model during a recent interview.

Brookside noted that Saraya, a two-time WWE Divas Champion, emerged from a British wrestling family and made a name for herself at a young age. She emphasized the importance of representation, stating that both she and Saraya share similar beginnings, proving that anyone can achieve their dreams regardless of their background.

In 2026, Brookside is fulfilling her aspirations in the United States, having recently won the TNA Knockouts Title at Slammiversary. This achievement parallels Saraya's past success, as she also held a championship title with WWE over a decade ago.
