The former two-time Knockouts Champion is exploring her next move
Summary
– Lei Ying Lee has left TNA and is now a free agent
– The former two-time Knockouts World Champion has reportedly spoken with other promotions
– Lee has not confirmed where she plans to wrestle next
Lei Ying Lee is a free agent after her TNA Wrestling run came to an end. The former WWE Superstar, known there as Xia Li, has reportedly begun speaking with other wrestling promotions about her future.
Lee had not competed for TNA since July, but her absence was initially attributed to a trip to China to visit her family. She was still under contract at the time. Her departure has now been reported, though no next destination has been announced.
Lee signed with WWE in 2017, competed in the inaugural Mae Young Classic and later joined NXT as part of the Tian Sha storyline. She moved to the main roster in 2021 and appeared on both Raw and SmackDown before being released in April 2024.
She joined TNA later that year and found championship success, winning the Knockouts World Championship twice. Her second reign ended when Xia Brookside defeated her at Slammiversary in June 2026. Lee’s final TNA match was a No Disqualification rematch against Brookside the following month.
Lee’s exit follows a year of roster changes for TNA, including the departures of Steve Maclin, Myla Grace, Tessa Blanchard, Tommy Dreamer, Eric Young, Alicia Fox, Jody Threat, Mara Sade and George Iceman. Rich Swann and Mustafa Ali also have contracts set to expire at the end of 2026, though neither has been confirmed as leaving.
Lee enters free agency with two Knockouts title reigns and experience in WWE and TNA. No specific promotion has been confirmed as her next destination.
