Ash By Elegance Says Her Story Isn’t Finished, Opens Up About Retirement – Ash By Elegance may have stepped away from active competition earlier this year, but she made it clear that her journey in professional wrestling is not over. After announcing her retirement and relinquishing the TNA World Knockouts Championship at TNA Victory Road in September, Ash has remained a key figure behind the scenes. Still, the former champion isn’t ruling out a future return to the ring.
In an exclusive interview with Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp, Ash addressed her retirement and the speculation surrounding it, confirming that she will eventually share the full story behind her decision — when she feels physically and mentally ready.
“No, it definitely is. I will say this, I’ve seen so many things on the internet and when the time is right, I will come out and I will share my story. My story is not over yet. It’s very personal to me. It’s been very difficult. I feel like the world and the WWE Universe, TNA Universe, everybody knows that when the time is right, I always share and I keep it real. I just need to get over this hurdle and this personal situation that I’m dealing with mentally and also physically. But when the time is right, I will share my story 100%. But TNA gives me hope. They give me a position where I can manage my team and help the female locker room. It’s been such a blessing. I absolutely love what we’re doing here in El Paso. I am going to be one of the Elegant Elves and give back to the children’s hospital and over the holiday season. So when I’m at TNA and when I’m backstage, it makes me work 10 times harder, where you don’t see where I’m definitely trying anything I possibly can do to get back into the ring faster than you know it. I never say never, but when the time is right, I will come out and I will share my experience. Just give me time. Everyone processes differently. I’d like to get over obstacles before, then be able to speak about it.”
Ash emphasized that her new backstage role has been a source of motivation, allowing her to contribute to the women’s division while continuing to work toward a possible return. Her comments signal that her retirement may be temporary, with her long-term future still very much open.
