Killer Kelly has officially ended her chapter with TNA Wrestling, marking the close of an exciting and history-making run. Known for her fierce attitude and unique style, Kelly made a strong mark during her time in TNA, especially in the Knockouts division. Now, with her time there behind her, fans are wondering what’s next for the talented performer.
Killer Kelly says goodbye to TNA Wrestling
Killer Kelly confirmed the rumours about her exit from TNA through a heartfelt social media post. She expressed her gratitude to the company and its team, highlighting both her growth and the memorable moments she experienced. She said she was thankful for the friends she made and the creative freedom she was given during her time.
Kelly wrote, “I love TNA, and my time there was full of ups and very few downs. I’ve grown so much as a performer and wrestler. The team made me look like an absolute superstar with my promos, which were the coolest ever.”
One of her standout moments was taking part in the first-ever Women’s Dog Collar Match on television — a historic match that highlighted her intense and fearless character.
TNA offered a short-term extension
According to Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp, Killer Kelly was offered a short-term contract extension by TNA, but she chose not to accept it. These short-term deals have become common in TNA, but Kelly seems ready to explore new opportunities.
She had been with the company on and off since 2020, becoming a regular part of the roster from 2022 onwards. Before that, she was briefly signed with WWE under the NXT UK brand. Kelly chose to leave WWE on her own terms, showing her desire for creative freedom and control over her wrestling career.
What’s next for Killer Kelly?
While nothing has been confirmed about Killer Kelly’s next move, there are strong hints that she could be headed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW). Sean Ross Sapp revealed that Kelly was seen backstage at the January 14 episode of AEW Dynamite. She was there supporting her fiancée Myron Reed, who debuted for AEW that night.
Interestingly, sources say some AEW wrestlers are keen to have Kelly join the roster. Although there’s been no confirmation of talks between her and AEW management, the possibility of her joining can’t be ruled out.
Ties with AEW are growing
Myron Reed, along with his Rascalz stablemates Dezmond Xavier and Zachary Wentz, recently signed multi-year deals with AEW. Trey Miguel, another Rascalz member, had also signed with AEW but was released after Tony Khan couldn’t get the necessary clearance for him. Miguel has since returned to TNA.
This connection between Killer Kelly and AEW, through her relationship with Reed and the Rascalz, has only added fuel to the speculation about her next big move.
Killer Kelly now accepting independent bookings
As of now, Killer Kelly is open to working independently. She announced that she’s available for bookings outside of major promotions, which could lead to her appearing in various promotions across the indie wrestling scene — at least for the short term.
This gives her the freedom to choose her path and explore creative matches, fresh storylines, and maybe even build her own brand further before signing an exclusive contract again.
Killer Kelly’s departure from TNA closes a solid chapter in her wrestling career, but it also opens the door for bigger opportunities. Whether she heads to AEW, continues making waves in the indie circuit, or surprises fans with another move — one thing’s for sure: Killer Kelly’s story in pro wrestling is far from over.
