Lei Ying Lee Departing TNA

Reports just a couple of weeks ago noted that Lei Ying Lee was still signed to TNA Wrestling despite her recent absence from television, but that is no longer the case.

Both PWInsider and Fightful Select have reported that Lei Ying Lee is departing TNA and she is now a free agent. She has held talks with other pro wrestling companies amidst plans to continue performing. Fightful further noted that TNA offered Lee a new deal but the two sides failed to reach an agreement for her to stay with the company.

The former Xia Li made her TNA debut in September 2024, five months after she was released by WWE in the aftermath of WrestleMania XL. Lee signed with TNA in November of 2024 and put pen to paper on a contract extension in August 2025.

Lee was featured as a top name in the Knockouts division during her TNA run, which included two reigns as TNA Knockouts World Champion. Her second reign came to an end when she dropped the title to former Angel Warriors tag team partner Xia Brookside at Slammiversary 2026. Lee's final TNA match took place on the July 9 episode of Thursday Night IMPACT when she unsuccessfully challenged Brookside for the belt in a No DQ Match.

Since then, Lee had been off TNA TV due to an extended visit to her home country of China to visit family, although she has since returned to the United States.
