TNA Wrestling announced Sunday that it has released Steve Maclin and Myla Grace, saying the departures are effective immediately.
In a statement TNA Wrestling said, "TNA Wrestling has come to terms on the release of Steve Maclin and Myla Grace, effective immediately. We wish them the best in their future endeavors," and a separate report said both wrestlers requested their releases and reached terms with the company on Sunday.
The move removes two active names from TNA's roster at once. Myla Grace's stint began in June 2025 when she debuted on the Against All Odds event pre-show alongside Xia Brookside and Harley Hudson. She worked a handful of singles and tag matches after that debut, never captured a TNA title, and her last appearance for the promotion was a March taping where she lost to Elayna Black; she has not appeared for TNA since.
Steve Maclin had been with TNA since 2021 and leaves after a longer, higher-profile run. He was the company’s first international champion, holding that title twice, and he also held the Impact World Championship once. This year Maclin was wrapped into a feud with then-world champion Mike Santana that included a firing storyline and on-screen assault on officials; Maclin’s last match for TNA was a loss to Santana.
Immediate practical consequences differ between the two. One report says Grace did not have a non-compete clause in her contract, meaning she could take bookings for other promotions right away. There is no similar reporting available for Maclin’s contractual terms in the verified facts, and neither wrestler’s next bookings or destinations have been confirmed.
The departures highlight an internal gap in how the exits are being presented. TNA framed both departures as company decisions completed "effective immediately," while the reporting that emerged Sunday portrays the outcome as a negotiated request from Maclin and Grace that the company accepted. That difference—company-initiated versus talent-requested—matters for how each wrestler’s exit will be publicly discussed and how promoters outside TNA will view them.
For TNA, the releases remove two pieces of its roster narrative: Grace, a short-term addition who had not risen to title contention, and Maclin, a former world champion whose recent storyline momentum had kept him in main-event conversation. For the wrestlers, only one verified detail points to an immediate next step: Grace’s contractual freedom to work elsewhere, as reported.
The central unanswered question now is straightforward and consequential: will Grace, reportedly free of a non-compete, sign with another promotion quickly, and will Maclin—whose résumé includes a world title and two international title runs—find a new home or pursue independent bookings? Neither TNA nor the wrestlers have disclosed plans beyond Sunday’s announcement, leaving both futures open and their next moves the story to watch.
