Former TNA Champion Expected To Wrestle Again After Being Sidelined – “I’m Back”
A former TNA Knockouts Champion appears to be ready to return to the ring.
Ash By Elegance has been a TNA Knockout for the past two years, having debuted with the company in 2024.
Prior to her run as Ash By Elegance, she was known as WWE’s Dana Brooke from 2013 until her release in 2023, marking a 10-year run in the company.
During her Dana Brooke days, she held the “coveted” 24/7 Title a whopping 15 times. In TNA, Ash By Elegance has been featured a lot more as a former TNA Knockouts Champion, Knockouts Tag Team Champion, and the Knockout of the Year in 2025.
Ash By Elegance won the TNA Knockouts Title at the NXT Heatwave PLE in August 2025. It was her first time winning a major singles title in wrestling since she didn’t win a women’s title during her decade-long run in WWE.
While it seemed like a long title reign was possible, it was unfortunately cut short when Ash forfeited the title at TNA Victory Road 2025, which meant she only held the title for 34 days.
Following her speech vacating the title, Ash never revealed why she had to step down, but it was speculated that it was due to a health issue.
Ash By Elegance Declares That She Is Back In TNA Action
After giving up the TNA Knockouts Title, Ash By Elegance still appeared regularly on Impact with the Elegance Brand’s Heather By Elegance, M By Elegance, Mr. Elegance, and The Personal Concierge.
On the January 22nd edition of TNA Impact on AMC, Indi Hartwell defeated M by Elegance in a match where it appeared as if Ash was frustrated with her allies. It ended up being a big swerve because Ash proved she is loyal to her group by helping them attack Knockouts Champion Lei Ying Lee, Hartwell and Xia Brookside.
Ash By Elegance got physical by dropping Lee with a DDT. Ash shouted, “I’m Back” and the announcers talked about how the queen looks like she is about to be on top of her throne again.
TNA’s Matt Hardy went on social media to state that Ash is back as well.
Damn – Look like @Ashamae_Sebera is BACK! #TNAiMPACT #TNAonAMC

During an appearance on Busted Open Radio earlier this month, Ash By Elegance hinted that she was hoping to be cleared to return to the ring.
“Like David (LaGreca) said, I don’t need to prove anything anymore. I mean, maybe a little bit in the ring still. I still wanna become champion. I definitely wanna come back. I’m definitely working better than ever to become medically cleared again.”
“Right now, I’ve taken a little bit of off time to recover myself, deal with some medical issues but, I feel as though, the doctors — I never say never and I don’t let the doctors tell me no either. I’m always trying to prove them wrong and get back on my horse and keep riding to the top.”
TNA will be taping future episodes of Impact on January 23rd, so it will be interesting to see if Ash steps back into the ring at those tapings, or if it happens in the future.
