Mara Sade Credits Chelsea Green & Naomi As Her Inspirations To Sign With TNA

Mara Sade has joined the TNA roster, and she says that she was inspired to do so by the successes that Chelsea Green and Naomi found there. Sade was Jakara Jackson in WWE NXT and she joined TNA after her WWE release, a decision she touched in in an appearance on Casual Conversations with The Wrestling Classic.

“To be honest, there are options most certainly, but legends have come from TNA,” Sada said (per Fightful). “For example, Chelsea, Naomi, like these people have gone through TNA, and they were able to expand and show who they were, and that’s inspiring to me, and I want to do the same.”

She continued, “I feel like the creative freedom is there, television is there; I’m back on people’s screens, which I know everybody’s been wanting. So we back. But like you said, there are options. But this one felt like the right one.”

Sade was made her TNA debut in late July, at which she was announced as signed to the company.
