TNA Wrestling confirmed today that it has signed Maggie Lee, as first reported by the Battleground Podcast, the official iHeartRadio podcast. Earlier this week, Maggie Lee took on Kelsey Heather in the Xplosion exclusive match (watch below).
Last October, she already had an Xplosion match against Rosemary. She has had many more Xplosion opportunities since.
A former four-year college volleyball player, Lee is now looking to spike the competition in TNA’s Knockouts Division. The 5-foot-11, award-winning Iowa native was trained at Black & Brave Wrestling and will celebrate three years in the ring this summer. At only 24, she has already collected titles in 9 different indie promotions where she competed against fellow TNA Knockouts Xia Brookside, Heather Reckless, Ash by Elegance, and Lei Ying Lee.
