Backstage Note on Mara Sade’s Future Following TNA Wrestling Departure

After leaving TNA Wrestling, the next move for Mara Sade has reportedly been revealed. A new report indicates that AEW is the expected destination after her TNA contract expired.

According to Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp, Mara Sade is not expected to return to TNA. The report noted that although her contract had recently expired, she was in talks with several promotions. Interestingly, she worked last Friday’s television tapings in Philadelphia “without a contract.” During the taping, she lost to Heather by Elegance in the TNA Knockouts TV Title Tournament Quarterfinal.

According to the latest update, TNA had increased its financial offer to retain her. However, sources within AEW reportedly expected the company to make a move for Sade once she became available. The report added that the sources in both TNA and AEW believe AEW is the most likely landing spot for the former WWE star.

Mara Sade worked in WWE as Jakara Jackson and was a member of the Meta-Four. She left the company in April of 2025 and joined TNA in June 2025.
