Overview
- TNA issued a press release confirming that Mara Sadé and Jody Threat have left the company.
- Reporting indicates Sadé’s TNA contract expired during her involvement in the Knockouts Television Championship tournament and her taped tournament match will still air.
- PWInsider reported that Threat requested and was granted a release, and she had recently signaled interest in wrestling in Japan.
- Both departures come with matches already taped for upcoming Impact programming, so the exits will play out on television after the roster changes.
- TNA also announced, without naming the wrestler, that a former Knockouts champion will return, a tease that has intensified speculation about reinforcements and where departing talent might go next.
