Mara Sadé has confirmed she is now with AEW through an update to her official website, although the company has yet to announce her signing.
Her biography describes her as “making her mark in WWE, TNA, and now AEW (All Elite Wrestling).” The update follows weeks of speculation about her next move after leaving TNA.
Fightful Select reported on July 29 that Sadé was a free agent and had held talks with multiple companies. She still competed at TNA’s July 31 tapings in Philadelphia without a contract, losing to Heather by Elegance in the Knockouts TV Championship tournament quarterfinals.
That proved to be her final TNA match, with the promotion announcing her departure on August 4.
According to Fightful, TNA increased its offer in an effort to keep her. However, sources within both TNA and AEW expected her to join Tony Khan’s company.
Previously known as Jakara Jackson in WWE, Sadé primarily competed in NXT before being released in 2025. She joined TNA that summer.
Her website also highlights her appearance on NBC’s The Titan Games with Dwayne Johnson, a Vogue feature and her work as an actress and “award-winning visual artist.”
