Daria Rae Signs a New Deal With TNA Wrestling

In a major development, Daria Rae has inked a new deal with TNA Wrestling.

After Fightful Select reported that TNA Director of Operations Daria Rae has re-signed with the promotion, the company confirmed the same via a social media post and a statement earlier today.

Rae made her TNA debut at iMPACT’s AMC premiere on January 15, 2026. She was introduced as the Director of Operations by Santino Marella. She previously had a decade-long stint with WWE, where she worked as Sonya Deville.

After WWE opted against renewing her contract in February 2025, Daria announced her retirement from pro wrestling but did not rule out the possibility of a return. Following her TNA debut, she explained why she returned to wrestling.

Below is TNA’s statement:

“TNA Wrestling Director of Operations Daria Rae has re-signed with the company, it was confirmed today, as first reported by Fightful. The charismatic authority figure Daria is a key part of TNA Thursday Night iMPACT! every week on AMC and AMC+ (U.S.), Sportsnet 360 (Canada), and TNA+ (worldwide).

“Since making a surprise debut on the premiere episode of TNA Thursday Night iMPACT! on AMC, Daria has shaken things up in TNA, going head-to-head with TNA’s Director of Authority, Santino Marella. Speaking about why she loves being with TNA, in an interview earlier this year with The Sportster, Daria said: ‘There is more passion, heart, soul and pure talent in this company than I think, arguably, anywhere else in sports entertainment today.’

“TNA Wrestling presents Lockdown on Sunday, August 23, from the Credit Union 1 Arena in downtown Chicago – with every match contested inside a steel cage. There are also two major live events coming to the Liacouras Center at Temple University in Philadelphia on Thursday & Friday, July 30-31.”
