TNA star Mara Sade is kicking off 2026 with more than just momentum in the ring — she may have just confirmed a new wrestling power couple.
On January 1, 2026, Sade took to her Instagram Story to wish AEW star Kevin Knight a happy birthday. But it wasn’t just the birthday shoutout that caught fans’ attention — it was her choice of words. Alongside a cozy photo of the two together, Sade referred to Knight as “bae” and added a heart emoji, seemingly confirming the pair are more than just friends: “Happy birthday bae.”
While neither has made an official statement about the relationship, the post was more than enough to set off speculation across social media. For fans paying attention, this isn’t entirely out of left field. The chemistry between the two has been noticed during past public appearances — and now, it looks like Sade is ready to make things a little more public.
This comes after Sade previously discussed the possibility of working in AEW during a virtual signing with K&S Wrestlefest back in June 2025. At the time, she kept things professional, saying:
“I feel like there’s so many great options. AEW, if I were to have a story. But I do believe I gotta build to that. I need to show people what I’m about.”
Since officially joining TNA in July 2025, Sade has been making a name for herself with a mix of athleticism and attitude, while Kevin Knight has been gaining traction in AEW as one of its most exciting young talents. Now, it looks like their careers aren’t the only thing heating up.
