Wrestling fans, brace yourselves: Gisele Shaw has officially parted ways with TNA Wrestling, and in true Gisele fashion, she’s doing it with class, grace, and a whole lot of heart emojis. After a solid two-and-a-half-year run in the promotion (but who’s counting?), Shaw took to X to confirm what we’ve all been whispering about—she’s done with TNA. But don’t go grabbing the tissues just yet; it’s all love between her and the company.
In her message, Shaw thanked TNA for the opportunities, the memories, and presumably, for not making her do too many backstage segments involving food fights. “Overwhelmed by the love and support… Grateful for all the opportunities… Excited and looking forward to embark on a new journey,” she wrote. The heart emoji is there, so you know it’s sincere.
Reports suggest that Shaw finished strong by helping put over a new star before exiting stage left—classic wrestling move. After all, you can’t leave without giving someone else a chance to shine, right? It’s like the wrestling version of leaving a good Yelp review.
Now, while Gisele may not have claimed the Knockouts World title she was gunning for, she’s clearly not sweating it. After all, Jordynne Grace isn’t an easy three-time champ for nothing! Shaw still gave it her all and walked away with her head high—plus, a shiny Progress World Women’s Championship on her resume.
What’s next for Shaw? Well, if her post is any indication, it’s time for “new journeys and adventures.” We’re thinking bigger stages, brighter lights, and maybe fewer pay-per-view near-misses. Wherever she’s headed, one thing’s for sure—she’s got the X-factor to keep us all watching.
