Various storylines (2017–2020)[]

Hogan in the ring in 2018

On August 17, 2017, it was reported that Impact Wrestling (then known as Global Force Wrestling) had signed Hogan to a contract.[9][unreliable source?] On the February 1, 2018, episode of Impact!, Hogan made her Impact Wrestling debut by defeating the Knockouts Champion Laurel Van Ness in a non-title match.[6] She received a championship match on the following episode of Impact! where she fought in a losing effort.[10] Hogan made her pay-per-view debut at Redemption, when she unsuccessfully challenged Taya Valkyrie.[11] Hogan received a rematch against Valkyrie on the May 3, 2018, episode of Impact!, when she won by disqualification after being attacked by Tessa Blanchard during the match.[12] Followed that incident, Hogan faced Blanchard on the May 17 episode of Impact!, when she lost. After the match, Blanchard attacked her until Madison Rayne made the save.[13] On the June 14 episode of Impact! Hogan unsuccessfully challenged Blanchard once again in a No Disqualification match.[14] On October 4 episode of Impact!, Hogan lost to Su Yung. After the match, Yung and Allie brawled. Hogan saved Allie from Yung, only to be put inside a coffin by Yung.[15] At Bound for Glory, Allie rescued Hogan from the Undead Realm.[16]

On the May 3, 2019 edition of Impact, Hogan faced Rosemary in a grudge match stemming from a confrontation weeks prior; she was defeated via disqualification when Su Yung's undead bridesmaids entered and attacked Rosemary.[17] Hogan began turning heel when she refused to help Rosemary against the bridesmaids, and she cemented herself as a villainess in a backstage interview on the following week, when she claimed that she wasn't getting anywhere trying to be friends with everyone, and accused Jordynne Grace of taking advantage of her.[18] On the May 17 edition of Impact, Hogan eliminated Grace and Scarlett Bordeaux in a Knockouts Battle Royal, only to be eliminated herself by Blanchard.[19] Following the battle royal, she began a feud with Grace, with Grace getting the upper hand on multiple occasions.[20][21][22]

On the May 19, 2020 episode of Impact!, Hogan approached Impact's newest knockout Tasha Steelz and offered her to join forces with her, which Steelz agreed to.[23] The new formed duo, now known as Fire 'N Flava, won their first match as a tag team on the June 2 episode of Impact!, where they defeated Kylie Rae and Susie.[24] Hogan and Steelz quickly entered into a feud with Havok and Nevaeh, which led into a no disqualification match on the August 11 episode of Impact!, where Hogan and Steelz were victorious, ending their feud with Havok and Nevaeh in the process.[25] On January 16, 2021, at Hard to Kill, Hogan and Steelz defeated Havok and Nevaeh to become the new Knockouts Tag Team Champions.[26] At Rebellion, they lost the titles to Jordynne Grace and Rachael Ellering, ending their reign at 99 days.[27] At Under Siege, Hogan and Steelz regained the titles from Grace and Ellering, thus becoming two-time champions.[28][29] On the Slammiversary pre-show, they lost the titles to Decay (Havok and Rosemary).[30]

On July 18, she announced her departure from the company.[31][32] On the August 5 episode of Impact!, Savannah Evans attacked Hogan as Steelz only watched, thus disbanding Fire 'N Flava.[33][34] The following week on Impact!, she was abducted by Su Yung and Kimber Lee, this was used to write her off television.[35][36]
