Tony Khan has signed some of the top stars in the Jacksonville-based promotion. It seems like he has brought in one more elite star to the company. Mara Sade, one of the most dynamic stars in the industry, has been part of different promotions in the past few years. She made a name for herself when she was &#8216;Jakara Jackson&#8217; in NXT. She was part of the Meta-Four faction in the global sports entertainment juggernaut.<\/p>\n<p>In 2025, the former WWE star joined TNA and climbed the ladder of success. However, after just one year, she decided to leave the company. She became a free agent in July 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, on Mara Sade&#8217;s website, it was announced that she is now signed to All Elite Wrestling.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;MEET MARA &#8211; Straight out of Duke City, New Mexico, Mara Sad\u00e9 is a true modern-day renaissance woman whose career spans professional wrestling, acting, modeling, athletics, and visual art.

Beyond the ring, she continues to expand her career as an actress and award-winning visual artist, creating bold custom canvases, wearable art, and original pieces that reflect the same creativity, confidence, and intensity she brings to performance. Mara Sad\u00e9 isn&#8217;t just building a career across industries-she&#8217;s building a brand entirely her own,&#8221; she wrote.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2>Mara Sade recently confirmed she is dating an AEW star<\/h2>\n<p>While speaking on <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=z4YLAGKF9DI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Gabby AF<\/a><\/em>, Mara Sade revealed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/aew\/news-mara-sade-fka-jakara-jackson-confirms-dating-top-aew-star\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">that she is dating former TNT Champion Kevin Knight<\/a> after the duo met at WrestleMania a few years ago.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cYes, I\u2019m dating \u2014 officially dating Kevin Knight, Jet2Fly.
