Kiera Hogan is ready to wrestle again, and she is not hiding where her heart still is.
Hogan has not wrestled since April 2025, when she teamed with Tasha Steelz for ASÉ, but she is taking bookings again after a long break from the ring. Speaking on Hitting The Turnbuckle Podcast, the former AEW star said the time away was strange, but it also made her realize how much she missed wrestling.
“I mean, honestly, it’s been a very enlightening experience. This is the first time in my 11-year career that I have ever been out of wrestling this long, and it has been crazy. I am not used to it at all but I have learned a lot and I’ve been able to watch a lot just being away from wrestling. But it’s also given me a chance to miss it, because I feel like I was at a place in my career where I was just kind of stagnant. I wasn’t really happy, I wasn’t really fulfilled. But I feel like I miss it so much now that I can’t wait to get back to it so, now I’m just excited.”
Hogan spent 2017 to 2021 with IMPACT/TNA Wrestling, where she and Steelz became two-time Knockouts World Tag Team Champions as Fire ‘N Flava. Fans still ask about the team, and Hogan sounds more than open to running it back.
“People still ask or tag me or ask Tasha (Steelz) about Fire ‘N Flava. ‘When are you guys getting back together? When are you guys gonna tag again?’ I just feel like that’s something that’s gonna be solidified with us for the rest of our days. So, I will always be grateful for that moment, for those moments and just for being Fire ‘N Flava and just going with the flow and honestly, I miss her so much. I miss tagging with her.”
She also pointed out that Steelz still brings up Fire ‘N Flava on TNA commentary, which has kept the door cracked open in her mind.
“I know she still talks about Fire ‘N Flava. I’ve heard her mention me on commentary or mention our tag team on commentary still at TNA so, I’m always hopeful that, you know, maybe, one day we’ll reunite and actually do it for real this time with the fans so they can actually be involved.”
Then Hogan made the TNA love even clearer. She said she misses the company, the people there, and the feeling of being around close friends like Tasha Steelz, Alisha Edwards, Gia Miller, Rosemary, and Allie.
“I just miss it. I miss wrestling for TNA. I miss working with my really close friends, like Tasha and Alisha Edwards is one of my really close friends. Gia Miller is one of my close friends. I just miss working with people that I love — Rosemary, Allie — me and Allie go way back. We used to be (very close) on the road. I miss TNA with all my heart and they will always have my heart. That will always be home for me.”
When the interviewer mentioned TNA President Carlos Silva and said Hogan wants to come back, she did not dodge it at all.
“I do, so make it happen. My line is always open.”
Hogan also looked back on why she left TNA in the first place. Before jumping to AEW, where she worked from 2021 to 2025, she said TNA did offer her a new deal, but she wanted to see what else was out there.
“When fans were allowed to come back to wrestling events, TNA had a pay-per-view. Obviously, me and Tasha (Steelz) lost the titles. I was kind of already on the way out of TNA. I was asked to re-sign with TNA, but, I was at a point in my career where I wanted to see what else was out there. I was just curious. I’d been with TNA for four years, five years. I had grown a lot with TNA. I could have stayed and just flourished from there but I was just curious to see if this was it. I was just a curious person. I’ve always been curious. I wanna see what other challenges are out there.”
So yeah, Kiera Hogan is back on the market, taking bookings, and making it very easy for TNA to pick up the phone. After time away from wrestling, she sounds refreshed, hungry, and more than ready for Fire ‘N Flava to get one more real run.
