Ash By Elegance says that she’s done her best to mentor the Knockouts locker room, specifically noting her work with Heather & M By Elegance. The Knockouts Champion spoke with Cultaholic for a new interview and during the conversation she spoke about helping her stablemates and more. You can see the highlights below (per Fightful):

On being a mentor for the Knockouts: “I am one of the older ones so I like to be a mentor in the locker room. When the girls come up to me and ask me for advice, I absolutely love it. I’ve mentored two girls in my corner — Heather and Maggie — who I feel have flourished in this last year. I’ve seen Maggie work extra events at TNA and she had tryout matches. Seeing her now, the character development is through the roof. Now, I don’t want to take any of the credit for it, but just trying to mold her into this character and bring a different side that she may have never imagined, that just gives her confidence that whatever position she’s given in her career, she can do it.”

On Heather By Elegance: “Same thing with Heather, Heather was actually one of my first matches in TNA. She was an extra, I got in the ring with her and she was just awesome from start to finish, from backstage to the ring, she was awesome. I remember telling Tommy and Gail, ‘We need to sign this girl.’ The funny thing is, I remember her saying, ‘I remember watching you as Dana Brooke in high school.’ I’m like, ‘Oh my god, that’s crazy.’ They gave her job, they gave her a contract on the spot. Being a mentor to these girls in the locker room, I absolutely take pride in that and I don’t feel pressured at all because my whole career, I’ve had eyeballs on me left and right.”
