Killer Kelly has announced her exit from TNA Wrestling after declining a contract extension.
The 33-year-old performer confirmed the news in a social media statement on Sunday, noting that while the promotion offered her a new deal, she “decided not to go that route.” Her final appearance for the company took place at the television tapings in El Paso, Texas, on December 6 and 7, 2025.
In her statement, Kelly thanked TNA management, specifically mentioning Scott D’Amore and Gail Kim, and reflected on her tenure, which included two reigns as Knockouts World Tag Team Champion alongside Masha Slamovich.
My time with TNA has come to an end. I know this is a long time coming, but y’all deserve to read something coming from me. A contract extension was offered, but in the end we’ve decided not to go that route. And that’s totally fine!
I love TNA, and my time there was full of ups, and very few downs. I’ve been a part of this amazing team and I’m really thankful for that, especially for the lifelong friends I’ve made along the way.
… I wish I could’ve done much more than to be part of the longest reigning TNA knockouts tag team champions (which is so cool), but that’s ok! I’ve done plenty, and I’m really proud of myself and so happy that I was allowed to do and create so much.
Kelly, whose real name is Raquel Lourenço, began her full-time run with TNA in 2022. She formed the popular “MK Ultra” team with Slamovich, holding the tag titles for 182 days during their first reign. She most recently challenged her former partner for the Knockouts World Championship in a Dog Collar match on June 20, 2025.
A native of Portugal, Kelly gained international attention as the inaugural wXw Women’s Champion in Germany before signing with WWE in 2018. She competed in the 2018 Mae Young Classic, losing in the first round to Meiko Satomura, and appeared on the NXT UK brand until her release in 2020.
Regarding her future, Kelly stated she is available for bookings and teased that fans will “definitely see me on TV soon.”
