Myla Grace and Steve Maclin are out of TNA. Both were released from their contracts after requesting their releases and reaching terms with the company on Sunday, ending a run that had kept Grace under contract and Maclin near the top of the roster.
Grace’s exit is the part that will draw the most attention right away because she does not have a non-compete clause, meaning she can work wherever she chooses after leaving TNA. That makes myla grace leaves tna wrestling a live search item today, not a retrospective one, because her next appearance could come quickly if another promotion moves on her.
Maclin’s departure carries a different kind of weight. He had been a key figure at the top of TNA’s card when the company moved its television product to AMC at the beginning of the year, and he was tied into a feud with Mike Santana over the TNA World Championship. In storyline, TNA had fired Maclin after he assaulted company officials, only for Santana to push for him to be allowed back so he could get revenge in the ring.
That angle led to matches in March at TNA Sacrifice and again in May on Impact, with Santana winning both times. By the time the release became real-world news on Sunday, the fictional firing had already given way to a very different ending: Maclin was no longer part of the roster that had built around him.
The timing matters because Maclin was still active outside the ring. Last night, he and Deonna Purrazzo held Battle for the Brave in New Jersey, a charity pro wrestling event that raised money for Tunnel to Towers, which helps military workers, first responders, and their families. Maclin, a former Marine who completed two deployments in Afghanistan, also took part in the Battle For The Brave Cup Gauntlet alongside Kris Statlander and others, while Richard Holliday won the cup.
What comes next is clearer for Grace than for Maclin. Her release leaves the door open immediately, but the company and the wrestler have not said where she will go. Maclin’s exit, meanwhile, removes a former top-card performer from TNA just as the promotion continues to settle into its AMC era.
