Ash By Elegance Reflects On Her Experience During WWE Run

Ash By Elegance recently looked back at her run in WWE as Dana Brooke. The TNA star spoke with Monopoly Events at For The Love of Wrestling 2025 and said that her time with WWE was very up and down, but she doesn’t regret it.

“I will be completely open and honest,” Ash began (h/t to Fightful). “It was like a toxic relationship. It was definitely a roller coaster ride. But I wouldn’t be who I am today if it wasn’t for WWE. WWE gave me an amazing platform to interact with all my fans, to get to know one another, and I’m real. My fans will know that I will try and reach out and just be super motivating and super inspiring. If it wasn’t for WWE, I wouldn’t have the fans and be able to interact like I do.”

She continued, “With that being said, it really was an eye-opening experience. I was there during the women’s evolution. We, I say as Charlotte Flair, myself, Sasha Banks, Bayley, everyone in that era of NXT was just truly amazing, Asuka. I was Asuka’s first opponent when she came to the States. I was on the first-ever NXT Takeover. I was on the first Evolution, the first Women’s Royal Rumble. So it’s been an amazing journey. Also I started my career with Charlotte Flair by my side, I had Ric Flair by my side, so it’s [been] very memorable moments in my career.'”

Ash re-signed with TNA at the start of the year.
