Myla Grace Leaves Tna Wrestling After Sunday Release
Myla Grace leaves TNA wrestling after requesting her release and reaching terms with the company on Sunday. Steve Maclin was part of the same move, ending his TNA contract at the same time.
Grace and Maclin Exit TNA
The change leaves Grace out of TNA’s Knockouts Division and clears the way for her to work wherever she chooses right away. Earlier this week, Fightful reported that Grace did not have a non-compete clause in her contract, which gives her a different path than many departing wrestlers face.
Maclin and Grace both asked for their releases before coming to terms with TNA on Sunday. That makes this a mutual exit rather than a forced move, and it removes both names from the company’s active roster at the same time.
Battle for the Brave Fallout
The release comes against the backdrop of Maclin’s recent stretch outside the ring in New Jersey, where he and his wife, Deonna Purrazzo, put on Battle for the Brave. The charity show raised money for Tunnel to Towers, which provides assistance to military workers, first responders, and their families.
Maclin is a former Marine who completed two deployments in Afghanistan, and that background shaped the event he helped stage. The main event saw The Hardy Boyz defeat The Verdict, while Richard Holliday won the Battle For The Brave Cup Gauntlet.
TNA Roster Shift
TNA moved its television product over to AMC at the beginning of the year, and its roster has already been in motion through spring. Maclin wrestled Mike Santana at TNA Sacrifice in March and again on an episode of TNA Impact in May, so his departure cuts off a recent program that had been part of the company’s weekly and special-event mix.
For Grace, the practical change is immediate: she can appear elsewhere without waiting out a non-compete. For TNA, the release removes a Knockouts Division member who had been part of the company’s current lineup, and it does so on a day when one of its recent featured names also stepped out of the contract picture.
