Mara Sadé signs full-time contract with AEW

Mara Sadé, formerly known as Jakara Jackson in WWE NXT, has reportedly signed a full-time, salaried contract with All Elite Wrestling (AEW). The news was confirmed via an update to Sadé’s official website, which noted her career progression through WWE, TNA, and now AEW.

Before joining AEW, Sadé competed in TNA Wrestling following her departure from WWE in 2025. Reports indicate that while she was a free agent, she held discussions with both WWE and TNA, even receiving a formal offer to remain with TNA, but ultimately chose to join Tony Khan’s promotion.

Sadé, a 31-year-old performer with experience in acting and visual arts, is expected to join AEW’s women’s division. Her signing follows weeks of speculation regarding her next professional move after her final TNA appearances in July 2026.
