As noted before, Ash By Elegance announced at this past September’s TNA Victory Road 2025 event that she was stepping away from in-ring wrestling due to personal issues and vacated her TNA Knockouts World Championship.
A recent virtual fan signing event for RDP Promotions featured Ash as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Ash revealing that she has retired from her in-ring wrestling career.
“$30 for this top. It is worn with me and Paige VanZant (in a photoshoot), but also, this is the shirt I retired in. It’s $30. My retirement t-shirt.”
Ash also gave her thoughts about TNA opening the door for her to have a backstage job in the company for her post-in-ring career.
“Guys, thank you so much. It was an honor, a pleasure. Thanks for always tuning in, and supporting me. I might not be in the ring, but, I’ll still be busy. TNA has opened their doors for me and allowed me to do things backstage. Just not in the ring. Never say never so, maybe one day again…”
In response to a fan question about if she would be making an appearance at TNA’s Bound For Glory 2025 event, Ash responded confirming that she will be in attendance at the show.
