TNA Announces Departures of Jody Threat and Mara Sade, Teases Return of Former Star

TNA has confirmed the departures of Knockouts Jody Threat and Mara Sade, marking another change in the promotion's roster this summer. The announcement was made in a statement regarding the Knockouts Division, where TNA wished both wrestlers success in their future endeavors.

Mara Sade's exit follows the expiration of her contract just before TNA's recent TV tapings in Philadelphia. Although there were discussions about her potential continuation with the promotion, no agreement was reached. Sade, who previously competed in WWE as Jakara Jackson, was reportedly in negotiations with TNA prior to her departure.

In a positive note for TNA, the promotion indicated that a former titleholder would be returning to the Knockouts Division to fill the vacancies left by Threat and Sade. While specific details about the returning talent were not disclosed, several former TNA Knockouts and Tag Team Champions are currently available, including former WWE star Zelina Vega, who recently became a free agent.
