Several hours ago, former TNA Knockouts Champion Madison Rayne took to her Twitter account to confirm that her contract with TNA expired and she would not be immediately returning to iMPACT Wrestling. Rayne’s confirmation was the first of a series of tweets from the Knockout where she commented on not immediately returning to iMPACT Wrestling. She also took the time to thank Dixie Carter for giving her a dream job.
Below are the series of tweets from Rayne providing real facts about her relationship with TNA.
My contract w/ TNA has ended. I want to thank you all for the constant love & support and PROMISE you I will be back in the ring again soon!

After Rayne confirmed that she did not renew her contract with iMPACT Wrestling, she graciously thanked everyone at TNA.

Former TNA Knockouts Champion Gail Kim also praised Rayne on Twitter by tweeting “Long live the queen!” Rayne responded to Kim with the following message:
@gailkimITSME I love you BFFFFF!!! 👭 Couldn't have imagined finding such an incredible friend in such a crazy business! 👸💂I'll see u soon!

Rayne has thus far been gracious after splitting ways with TNA. There are any number of now-former wrestlers who could learn a great deal from the way she has graciously managed this situation. The entire team here at TNAStars.com wishes Rayne, her husband, and their “bun in the oven” the best of luck!
didn’t she take time off to have a kid
I think she initially took time off to train for some bodybuilding competitions (which she won) and then while she was taking time off she got pregnant. I’m sure she’ll be back with TNA once she gets settled in to life as a Mom. This seems like it’s just a life transition for her right now.
