Tony Khan Addresses Mara Sadè’s Status Before AEW All Out

Posted By: Ben Kerin on Sep 24, 2026

Tony Khan has named Mara Sadè as a talent to watch as speculation grows over a possible move to AEW.

Speaking during Thursday’s media call ahead of All Out, the AEW president praised the former NXT and TNA wrestler but stopped short of confirming she would be joining the company.

The interest follows a change to Sadè’s official website earlier this week, which appeared to indicate she was heading to AEW. Those references have since been removed.

Asked about her status, Khan said:

“We have not seen her in AEW to date, but she’s somebody that we’re definitely very familiar with for many reasons and is a tremendous young talent.”

He continued:

“She’s somebody that is of great interest and is a very compelling young prospect. So in her case, she’s definitely somebody to keep an eye on.”

Sadè signed with WWE in 2022 before being released in 2025. She later joined TNA Wrestling, leaving the promotion this summer following the expiry of her contract.

Adding to the speculation, Sadè appeared to hint on Thursday that she could be at Saturday’s All Out pay-per-view in Chicago. Khan’s comments will give fans another reason to watch closely, although an AEW signing or appearance has yet to be confirmed.
