Mara Sade Expected to Join AEW After Leaving TNA

Mara Sade, a former TNA wrestler recognized for her time in WWE as Jakara Jackson, is expected to join AEW after her contract with TNA expired last week. TNA confirmed her departure alongside Jody Threat, indicating that Sade's exit was amicable.

Reports from PWInsider and Fightful Select suggest that both TNA and AEW believe Sade will be heading to AEW, although no specific start date has been announced. Despite TNA's attempts to retain her, including an improved contract offer, Sade appears set on her new path.

While WWE has shown interest in bringing Sade back since her release in 2025, it remains unclear if a formal offer was made. Her professionalism during recent tapings in Philadelphia has been praised, and her move to AEW will reunite her with her partner, Kevin Knight, who has recently achieved notable success in the promotion.
