In a press release sent by TNA’s publicist Ross Forman, it was announced that the promotion has come to terms with the releases of Myla Grace and Steve Maclin. While Grace’s departure had already leaked earlier this week, Maclin’s exit comes as a major surprise to fans and insiders alike. The company wished both talents the best in their future endeavors, and there is already speculation that the former TNA World Champion could be headed to AEW, where his wife Deonna Purrazzo currently works.

Maclin, 39, whose real name is Stephen Kupryk, is a former U.S. Marine who first debuted in 2013 at Monster Factory Pro Wrestling as Tommy Maclin. From there, he signed with WWE in 2014, where he competed as Steve Cutler in NXT and as part of The Forgotten Sons until his release in 2021. That same year, he joined TNA and quickly rose to prominence with his aggressive, hard-hitting style. Later, Maclin captured the TNA World Championship once and became a two-time TNA International Champion before his surprise departure in June 2026.
