AEW Signs Mara Sade

A former WWE and TNA wrestler in Mara Sade has signed with All Elite Wrestling.

Sade's own website initially confirmed that she had signed with AEW on Monday, September 21, but her site has now been edited to remove any references to All Elite Wrestling. Fightful Select has reported, however, that Mara Sade agreed to a deal with AEW that was in effect as of last week. She is signed to a full-time, salaried contract.

Mara Sade had been signed to TNA Wrestling but she finished up with the promotion at the end of July 2026, actually working without a contract to put over Heather By Elegance in the quarter-finals of the TNA Knockouts Television Championship tournament. 

Sade held talks with WWE after she became a free agent, and reports have noted that TNA actually increased their offer for the 31-year-old, but she opted to join AEW.

Mara Sade began her pro wrestling career in 2021 when she signed with WWE. She competed for the company as Jakara Jackson on WWE NXT, during which she was a part of Meta-Four with Lash Legend, Noam Dar, and Oro Mensah. Sade was released by WWE in May 2025 and she joined TNA in July of last year.
