Jakara Jackson, recently released from WWE’s NXT brand, has revealed a new professional identity. The performer will now be known to the wrestling world as Mara Sadè.
Sadè announced this change by updating her X social media profile, a move underscoring her previously stated intention to continue her wrestling career. She had confirmed earlier she would not be retiring.
Her departure from WWE occurred in early May 2025, as one of 17 talents released. This group included 11 performers from NXT, such as her former Meta-Four stablemate, Oro Mensah.
During her NXT tenure, Jackson was a visible member of the Meta-Four faction. She is currently observing the standard 30-day non-compete period following her WWE release.
