– TNA knockout So Cal Val recently spoke to the UK Sun about the women of TNA posing for Playboy now that WWE has gone ‘PG’ and ended their relationship with the adult magazine. “It would be a really good thing for TNA,” she said. “I know the fans love our photoshoots and what could be better than to do one for Playboy?” On whether or not she would pose nude if asked, she added: “It’s something I have already been asked to do – I was contacted by a few different people from Playboy when I started with TNA – and I figure I may do it later on. I’m 22, so I still have a lot of time to make that decision. Never say never!”
