Jade Chung named new TNA Wrestling ring announcer

For its new era, TNA Wrestling will have a new ring announcer.

It was announced today that Jade Chung has been named the new ring announcer for TNA Wrestling. She’s replacing David Penzer in the role after Penzer finished up with the promotion at Final Resolution earlier this month.

At Final Resolution, TNA Wrestling president Scott D’Amore thanked Penzer and presented him with an award in the ring. Penzer said that he is not retiring.

Penzer wrote on social media that he was blown away by the “incredible sendoff” he was given by the promotion. Penzer called it the classiest thing he’s ever seen in the wrestling business.

“[Thank you] Scott D’Amore, I’ll be rooting from the sidelines,” Penzer wrote.

Chung joined the Impact Wrestling broadcast team this May with a role that included doing ring announcing for Before the Impact and hosting pre-shows for Impact events.

Chung is a former wrestler and manager who was part of the ROH roster in the 2000s. Before joining Impact’s broadcast team, she had been featured in the promotion alongside her husband Josh Alexander.

Chung noted that she’s “crazy excited” for her new role and is ready to rock the mic and make her peers proud.

“Very proud of this lady,” Alexander wrote. “20+ yrs in wrestling. Whether it be wrestling, managing, photography or ring announcing she takes everything insanely serious. Now as the official ring announcer for the new era of #TNAWrestling.”

TNA Wrestling’s new era officially starts at Hard to Kill on Saturday, January 13. The promotion’s name change from Impact Wrestling to TNA goes into effect that night.
