TNA has successfully signed the former WWE superstar Xia Li and has changed her ring name to Lei Ying Lee. Xia Li was part of WWE’s roster and was known for her dominating personality, but the recent release by WWE has paved the way for her TNA career.
With the inclusion of Lei Ying Lee in the TNA women’s knockout division, TNA has solidified their position in the wrestling world, especially keeping in mind the new revolution of new women’s titles in WWE.
Here is the complete story of Xia Li’s WWE departure and TNA signing as Lei Ying Lee:
Lei Ying Lee’s TNA SigningÂ
We have seen multiple crossovers between the Superstars from both TNA and WWE. The most prominent was Joe Hendry’s WWE NXT debut, which also broke the internet.
Lei Ying Lee made her first ever TNA appearance in September 2024, where she faced Hyan, and she registered her first win in TNA.
The attack by Savannah Evans after Lee’s second win in TNA sparked rumors about a new Rivalry building in TNA.
Now officially, Xia Li, also known as Lei Ying Lee, has signed TNA and will soon return to action in a completely new storyline.

Lei Ying Lee’s Athletic SkillsÂ
TNA has played a masterstroke by signing Lei Ying Lee into the company. Known for her athletic background, Lee holds many skills that can revolutionize the TNA Knockouts division and are as follows:
Martial arts:
Lee is an expert in Wushu and has high skills in blending striking, grappling, and throwing.
Kickboxing:
Lei Ying Lee has already won multiple awards in martial arts and has also been a professional bodybuilder.
Fitness Freak:
Lee has been co-founder of a fitness studio and has also been a CrossFit competitor, which adds more value to her wrestling career.
All these skills make Xia Li the right candidate to bring revolution to TNA’s women’s knockout division.
TNA’s plans for Lei Ying LeeÂ
As we already said, Lee is known for her skills and dominant nature. TNA can include her in a storyline with either Masha Slamovich or Jordynne Grace, as these are two of the top names in the Knockouts division in TNA.
Lei Ying Lee‘s Thunderstruck Tornado Kick Finisher is famous in WWE and holds the potential to thrill the TNA fans too.
Lee’s inring return in TNA is not much far, and we can expect her to get more attention in TNA than she used to get in WWE.
