Former WWE Diva, Katie Lea aka Kat Waters is at tonight’s TNA Impact tapings and worked a tryout match against Madison Rayne prior to filming, reports Wrestling News World.
Richard Gray writes: “Katie worked as Kat Larue and did a job to Madison Rayne.”
We have been hearing for several months that there is TNA interest in Kat, so it’s not unsurprising to hear that she is in Orlando tonight. However, does she really need a tryout? She would, without a doubt, be a huge addition to the Knockouts division.
As reported earlier today, Christina Von Eerie is also due to try out this week — probably tomorrow.
EDIT: Results of Kat’s tryout match below:

I hope TNA signs her! Would be cool if she was made to be Madison’s ‘Stig’ at the last minute!
i hope Katie get’s a contract! i would love to see her finally win a championship on TV XD
YES. Put Katie with Daffney (and/or Christina) and have a team/trio of goth punk women!
Katie Lea + TNA + Championship = FREACKIN AWESOME.
Maybe a tag team partner to Daffney for her feud against Hamadaylor?!
oooh! before reading the article and just seeing the headline, my instant thought was katie + christina, new tag team, going up against taylor and wilde :)
i really hope they both impress tna in their respective matches.
taylor and wilde? duh, *taylor and hamada ;)
also, semi sidenote, i’m glad it was against rayne as perhaps this week we’ll get a break from the norm? would love to see hamada, taylor or even daffney used on impact this week.
Wow. If they add Katie and Christina to their roster, they might have a chance to revive their dead women’s division.
Well hopefully she gets signed. Of course TNA had interest in her. They have interest in anyone from the WWE. They would hire WWE’s janitor just out of association.
of course once again TNA signs WWE left overs, but i am glad for her to get a try out, i hope she gets signed over CVE, and we all now, Mickie James is coming soon anyways
If TNA signs both Katie and Christina Von Eerie they should pair them with Daffney to form a new female stable. Two names I could picture for such a group are Z.P.W. (The Zombie, The Punk, and The Witch) and The Charm Ones (a play off of the 90s’ tv series Charm).

i hope tna signs katie and christina and jut maby mickie james
I know I usually hate it when TNA picks up ex WWE stars but I can make an exception for Katie. SIGN HER!!! Katie + Daffney is my DREAM TEAM!!! =D
I’ve got my fingers crossed for Kat. I’d actually start getting excited for TNA, again, if she was there :)
OMG! If they hire her I will seriously start watching TNA again :O
Im going to faint , TNA has got to sign katie and christina please fix the division and imagine seeing katie in TNA, im glad she is interested.
Bring her in to get Daffney off the job squad and into tag title contention.
I really hope she gets signed.
EPIC EPIC EPIC!!!!!!
Katie Lea had to do a tryout for a spot in the TNA Knockouts division? Come on, that’s like having Mickie James have to do a tryout before sign her. TNA needs to sign Katie Lea up now, the woman can wrestle. I have been saying for months that they could team Katie Lea with Daffney has a tag team. Since people are coming tag team names if Katie Lea is signed to TNA and paired with Daffney, I got the perfect tag team name. I can hear Taz saying it; “Vampire Sexy” and “Zombie Hot” their tag team name; Horror Delight. I’m glad that TNA is at least looking at Katie Lea because she deserves a spot in the Knockouts division.
If they do sign her she will moreover less likely become Doug Williams Valet it be cool if he had “The British Femme Fatale” Kat Lerue as his Valet
I cann see it lol
Yea I know she’s not really british but she sure doesn’t mind being billed as one :p
Brilliant. Only shame is that we may not get a chance to see this match.
Hope TNA sign her as she would be a great addition. Please TNA sign her, and please use her talent properly (something TNA faill in with the non TBP talents)
WWE is sooo stupid, they are releasing all their talented divas e.g Serena, Katie Lea, Mickie James and Hiring only models, whereas TNA is looking at actual wrestlers, in 2 years, i see TNA knockouts high above the divas, WWE needs to start hiring actual wrestlers e.g Cherry Bomb, Jeniffer Blake, Rain, Jessie McKay ect otherwise the division is going to turn into a disaster.
@ICROFT
It already is a disaster. The WWE is going to unify the womens’ titles because they didn’t think when they released all their talent on SD! and didn’t replace them with anything. SD! is currently down to 4 Divas (Michelle, Kelly, Layla and Rosa). They can’t do anything with that, so they think its a great idea to unify the titles at Night Of Champions instead of moving talent to SD!.
The good news is Melina could be the first unified womens champion and the bad will be Michelle doing it. If Michelle wins it would be better for the WWE to retire both titles because the WWE Universe will riot.
As much I want tna to hire her I just don’t see it. TNA like to hire shitty indy women now day’s like Becky bayless,rosie lattalove,and THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE.
Wow, this was suprising, and some good news as consellation for the ridiculous release of Serena that I woke up to.
The idea for Z.P.W by Alexl was an amazing one, their stable sounds like a wrestling promotion and they would be an awesome team to face Angelina and the tag champs for all the belts.
Katie + Christina + Mickie could bring back the Knockout division from the dead, and make the show worth watching again. But they still have Russo, Bischoff and Hogan running the show. Dont forget that 99% of TNA’s problems are related to the booking, and not the individual qualities of their talent.
Yes Yes Yes! TNA would be stupid not to hire her! I want Kat back on my screen again :)
“As much I want tna to hire her I just don’t see it. TNA like to hire shitty indy women now day’s like Becky bayless,rosie lattalove,and THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE.”
you’re kidding? from what i gather, becky isn’t there to wrestle, beautiful people are hardly some new signees and rosie lottalove was on tv once – so i guess they learned from hiring her, not to use her.
Is it me, or they’re hiring to many new faces?
I hope this means they are trying to resurrect the Knockouts Tag Team Division. Personally I would love to see Kat teaming up with Daffney.
people say that wwe isnt looking for wrestlers and thinkings that terrible of wwe but all there trying to do is create a star hu isnt known in the wrestling business as much as i would love them to bring in wrestlers that just isnt going to happen there trying to find a “trish stratus” modelling background with no wrestling experience michelle and melina havent had no experience b4 hand (well not much to be known well) and look at them now there superstars and people in the wrestling world know there name thats what wwe are trying to find……
i really hope that tna hire katie and partner her with daffney :D fingers crossed with katie there then they can actually bring something to the tag titles
