Mara Sadè Becomes Free Agent as TNA Contract Expires
Mara Sadè, who wrestled for WWE under the name Jakara Jackson until her May 2025 release, signed with TNA Wrestling in July 2025. With her TNA contract now expired, she has officially entered free‑agency status and is engaged in contract negotiations with TNA, while other promotions have also expressed interest in signing her.
Sadè remains active in TNA competition, having defeated Tasha Steelz in the first round of the TNA Knockouts Television Championship tournament during recent Impact tapings in Albany. She is slated to face Heather by Elegance in the next round, though it is unclear whether she appeared in the most recent tapings held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Sources indicate that negotiations are ongoing, but no definitive agreement has been announced yet.
