TNA Wrestling Re-Signs Léi Ying Lee

Tommy Dreamer led the segment, saying this business is all about moments, “it’s all about our journeys in life.” He added, “This young lady came from China, didn’t know one word of English, also never knew what professional wrestling is, and moved across the world to start a brand new dream.”

He then announced that TNA had a new contract for Lee. “She truly represents the Knockouts, her culture, and women in general for her goals, and what they should be, as strong as fighters.” Léi Ying Lee was visibly appreciative of the words Dreamer said about her, and then she went on to sign the contract, with tears in her eyes.

TNA President Carlos Silva also congratulated Lee before she hugged Dreamer and Jazz. In a tweet posted after the title match, Lee says, “The journey continues. Re-signed. Re-focused. Ready for war.” Xia Brookside commented on the news, saying, “I can’t wait to become Knockouts Tag Team champs with you! This is just the beginning.”

The former WWE’s Xia Li became a TNA Knockout in September 2024. Her signing was made official two months later. Lee made her pro wrestling debut in 2017. Her Thunderstruck tornado kick finishing move has led to many wins, and more yet to come. The award-winning combat sports athlete brings extensive martial arts experience and seven years at the WWE to the TNA ring.

Léi Ying Lee is a specialist in the martial art of wushu, a competitive Chinese martial art that integrates striking, grappling, throwing, and more. She is a lethal kickboxer, a renowned bodybuilder, and an accomplished CrossFit specialist. Her all-time favorite pro wrestler is Manami Toyota, one of the greatest female professional wrestlers of all time.
