Sadè, from Duke City, New Mexico, has been wrestling professionally for four years, and also brings experience in track & field, basketball, volleyball, and even bowling. “I am highly goal-oriented and will run over anyone to achieve my goals, and that is: GOAL’D,” Sadè said.

Sadè’s favorite former pro wrestlers are Jacqueline Moore and Jazz. She is highly artistic and enjoys painting. “Anything I touch turns to GOAL’D,” she said. Sadè brings tag team experience to TNA, but is now blazing the singles path, “and I will accomplish anything and everything I want in TNA … because I check all the boxes,” she said.

Sadè, 30, is not unknown to TNA fans. She previously appeared on TNA iMPACT as Jakara Jackson, a member of the NXT faction, Meta Four, alongside Lash Legend.

At Sacrifice 2025, Jakara Jackson and Lash Legend made their first TNA appearance after the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championship match to confront the new champions, Ash by Elegance and Heather by Elegance.

On the April 3 episode of iMPACT, Jackson and Legend made their TNA in-ring debut, defeating Dani Luna and Jody Threat. On April 27 at Rebellion, Jackson and Legend competed in a four-way tag team match for the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championship, but failed to win.

The NXT Performance Center alumnus was released from WWE in May 2025, ending her four-year tenure with the company. She has since worked on the independent circuit, including 4th Rope Wrestling, GCW, and JCW.
