At IMPACT, I was there for four years, and I was always in storylines, I was always somebody's best friend.

That's my idol. I couldn't believe it, it took me leaving IMPACT to get a title shot, but it's against Mickie James, so I'm grateful. I was always somebody's best friend. I was Allie's best friend, Jordynne's best friend, Madison Rayne's best friend. Can I be by myself? Am I not strong enough to be by myself? Am I not a strong enough character? What is it? That's why I changed my character to try and do something different and not the same ol' same ol'. 'Maybe I'm stale.' I tried to switch it up.

Bolding mine, and in hindsight, with what we saw during her AEW singles run, I'd say the answer is "yes, that's right". She was meant to be the breakout of Fire n Flava but it was always Tasha all along.

Yeah very sad that Impact didn't her that run they gave Tasha with the Knockouts Title. I love her but it doesn't bother her too much because she is another group being someone's best friend. Maybe AEW down the road told her Jade and yourself will be in a program together.

My exact same thought

I didn't even notice Tasha Steelz until she had some feud with Mickie.

Keira Hogan and dat azz was the draw.

 

[Swerve]

She isn't wrong.
