TNA is actively pursuing new talent for its Knockouts Division following several roster departures.
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select reports that the company plans to bring in more women’s wrestlers after the exits of Mara Sadé, Jody Threat, and other names who have left the promotion throughout 2026. TNA has not publicly confirmed those plans or named any targets.
TNA officially announced both departures on August 3, 2026. Fightful Select reported that Sadé’s contract had expired, while PWInsider reported that Threat requested and was granted her release. Alongside the departure announcements, TNA revealed that a former titleholder will return to the Knockouts Division but has not yet identified who.

6:04 AM · Aug 8, 2026The company has already started adding to the roster. On August 5, 2026, TNA confirmed the signing of Gabby Forza, who inked the first television contract of her career after roughly three and a half years on the independents. Terms were not announced.
Forza previously competed in the tournament to crown the inaugural TNA Knockouts Television Champion. Jody Threat eliminated Forza in the opening round before losing to Jada Stone in the quarterfinals. Sadé also wrapped up her run during the tournament, falling to Heather by Elegance on the August 6 episode of iMPACT.
Beyond Forza’s signing and the still-unidentified return, there’s been no word on how many wrestlers TNA is looking to add.
