Daria Rae Explains Why She Didn’t Join TNA Immediately After WWE Exit

TLDR

Daria Rae revealed that she initially spoke with TNA President Carlos Silva shortly after her WWE contract expired in 2025, but felt it wasn't the right time to join the company. Rae later reached out to Silva again by coincidence just before TNA announced their AMC TV deal, leading to her signing with the promotion as an on-screen authority figure alongside Santino Marella. She officially debuted on the January 15 episode of TNA iMPACT on AMC.
