TNA's Xia Brookside spoils ceremony for Knockouts competitor, aligns herself with The Righteous

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling’s (TNA) "Impact" on Thursday night was supposed to be a crowning moment for Harley Hudson.

Hudson had flirted with the possibility of joining The Righteous, the duo known as Vincent and Dutch, as they set their sights on the entire TNA roster. Dutch even saved Hudson from elimination during the Call Your Shot Gauntlet at Bound for Glory last month.

The stars seemed to be aligned for Hudson as she made her way to the ring. Vincent and Dutch asked her to recite the words they were saying, "I am righteous. For we are many. I am righteous. For we are many. … While you were making up your mind, someone else already did."

Hudson said the last line with some trepidation as she learned in that moment she wasn’t about to join the group. Dutch stepped aside and behind the brooding figure was former Knockouts world champion Xia Brookside.

Brookside attacked Hudson and hit her with a Dark Side DDT. It appeared Hudson was left by the wayside and Brookside was the newest member of The Righteous – much to the chagrin of the fans in the arena.

Hudson wasn’t finished with her night. Beaten and embarrassed, she made a phone call to her mom.

"You told me not to trust those Righteous fellas but it all sounded so convincing," Hudson was heard saying. "Well, I don’t quite know how I get myself into these situations and I actually don’t know why it’s so hard for me to make any friends out here. I just feel like no matter how hard I try, I don’t have a home out here. I just really, really don’t want to come home yet."

Feeling down and out, Hudson found someone in her corner. She hung up the phone and found a note taped to one of the trailers in the parking lot. The note read, "Play with Meeee," sealed with a kiss. She then found a dollhouse.

It was Taryn Terrell luring Hudson to her team.

Terrell is in her third stint with TNA. She initially joined The Dollhouse group in 2015. In her tenure at TNA, she’s held the TNA Knockouts Championship once and was named Knockout of the Year in 2014.

She appeared back with the company earlier this year at Sacrifice to align with ODB and Mickie James. Now, it appears she’s found Hudson to reform The Dollhouse.
