As noted before, Ash By Elegance announced her retirement from her in-ring wrestling career at this past September’s TNA Victory Road 2025 event and vacated her TNA Knockouts World Championship as a result.
A recent episode of the Busted Open Radio podcast featured Ash as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Ash revealing that she is currently working towards being medically cleared for a potential in-ring return in the future.
“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 and TNA has given me this amazing opportunity to do things, not only in the ring, but manage my girls… It’s awesome to do different roles within TNA.”
Ash also stated that she will be a co-host for this Saturday’s TNA Genies 2026 pre-show in Garland, Texas.
