Ash by Elegance Discusses Her TNA Debut – Ash By Elegance (FKA Dana Brooke in WWE) joined TNA Wrestling for the first time at TNA Hard To Kill. She came to the arena and sat ringside to watch the Knockouts Championship match between Jordynne Grace and Trinity.
When she talked about her TNA debut on Busted Open Radio, Ash said, “It felt incredible. Being in Vegas, at TNA Wrestling’s Hard to Kill event. Walking into a fantastic arena and witnessing the Knockouts Division title match with Jordynne and Trinity, it was a really special moment for me to be part of such an amazing event.”
When asked what her name means, Ash said, “Ash By Elegance is a different side of me, but I’m trying with my life every single day as being super elegant. Elegant is a word that I feel has a variety and multiple meanings. It’s classiness, it’s elegant, it’s beautiful. It just means so much and I’m definitely going to bring that element into the ring and show everyone what class and elegance really means.”
Asked what was going to be different for her in TNA, Ash replied, “You’re going to see drive and determination and a side of me that people haven’t seen. I had mentioned to people before in the locker room, when I was at TNA, ‘I was never given the opportunity to show my true potential.’ The one match I did where I really felt like I opened up was one of my last matches, the kendo stick match, and a match after that with the champion where I was able to bring out a different side of aggression and passion and things I felt like I was held back from because I was working 90-second matches. What can you do in that 90 seconds beside tell the story you’re given to tell the story with? I feel as though TNA is going to let me explore this side of me of who I truly am. I want to go the limit. I was the girl, when we were putting matches together in WWE, ‘I want to do this. I want to go high flying, I want to dive onto a table and be hit in the back with a chair.’ They’re like, ‘No, we’ll get there; we’ll build to it.’ I was the one, ‘Put me in coach, I’ll do this and do that.’ TNA is the place where I’ll be able to do it. It’s hardcore and I’m ready for it.”
Ash mentioned that she spoke with Trinity and Mickie James before joining TNA. Both said TNA would be the place for her.
It is unknown when Ash will make her TNA in-ring debut.
