Ash By Elegance has announced that she is stepping away from in-ring competition.
TNA Victory Road 2025 opened with Director of Authority Santino Marella and TNA President Carlos Silva in the ring, joined by TNA Knockouts World Champion Ash by Elegance.
Ash had been scheduled to defend her championship against Masha Slamovich, but the match was pulled after abuse allegations surfaced against Slamovich from her former partner, indie wrestler AKIRA. TNA announced that it would conduct an internal investigation, while Slamovich has since issued a public statement on the matter.
Ash spoke about her journey to TNA and said sometimes, life throws you curveballs. She stated that she’s stepping away from in-ring competition and relinquished the Knockouts World Title.
Ash stated that it was an honor to perform for the TNA fans, whether they cheered her or booed her, and added that they rightfully booed her because she was a “stuck-up b*tch” to them. Ash closed by saying she’ll miss the fans.
