[edit]Meet-ups & Team-ups before The Death Doll name (2020–2022)
[edit]On October 24, 2020, at Bound For Glory, the revival of the Impact Knockouts Tag Team Championships were officially announced by Madison Rayne, with a tournament to award the winners with the revived titles taking place.[14] Rosemary and Taya Valkyrie entered the tournament but lost to Fire N’ Flava in the 2nd round. Months after Havok joined alongside Rosemary and the two became a female tag team within the male and female proportion of the group called Decay in Impact Wrestling. Afterwards on May 15, 2021 at Slammiversary Rosemary and Havok defeated then champions Fire N' Flava to win the titles for the first time in their career.[15] Months prior to the win Havok also entered the Knockouts Tag Team Championship revival tournament but with Nevaeh and lost to Fire N' Flava at Hard to Kill in the finals.[16] On October 23, at Bound for Glory, as Decay Rosemary and Havok lost their titles to the debuting team of The IInspiration (Cassie Lee and Jessica McKay), ending their reign at 98 days.[17]
At Slammiversary 2022, Taya Valkyrie re-teamed with Rosemary to defeat Madison Rayne and Tenille Dashwood for the Impact Knockouts Tag Team Championship[a]. This win made Taya an associate of Decay especially due to it being her second time teaming with Rosemary since the revived Knockouts Tag Team title tournament who was already apart of Decay, showing more signs and indication of The Death Dollz officially and permanently being in formation.[18] On the July 14 episode of Impact !, Havok was rescued by Valkyrie and Rosemary from the Undead Realm, and became known as her split personality Jessicka. On August 12, 2022 at Emergence Pre-show Rosemary and Taya lost the titles to VXT (Chelsea Green and Deonna Purrazzo).[19]
The three have also held the TNA / Impact Knockouts Championship at least one time in their career separately before they were The Death Dollz.[20][21][22][23]
