A former Knockouts Champion has exited TNA. Lei Ying Lee (Xia Zhao) is no longer with the company, according to Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com.
The 38-year-old Lee worked as Xia Li in WWE from 2017 to 2024, and started with TNA in September 2024. She had two runs with the Knockouts Championship. Her last match was on July 1 when Xia Brookside beat her in a No DQ match to retain the Knockouts Title.
Powell’s POV: Lee improved in the ring and had a good run in TNA. Johnson’s story notes that she’s “already having conversations with other major promotions,” so it will be interesting to see where she lands next.
