Ash by Elegance Explains Why She’s Been Absent From TNA

Ash by Elegance hasn’t been seen on TNA as of late, and she explained her absence in a new media appearance. The former TNA Knockouts Champion hasn’t competed for the company since June. She has had just a handful of matches since she returned to action in January.

Ash did a virtual signing for K & S WrestleFest and was asked about her time away from TV. She noted that she has been recovering after she pushed herself a little too hard when she returned and is excited to potentially return one day.

“You know, on TV, they say it’s a little mental health break,” Ash said (per Fightful). “Really and truly, I’m putting myself first and foremost, for the first time ever in my wrestling journey. I’ve had some really scary health issues in the last coming year — now coming up on a year. We were recovering at what I thought was a decent pace and was really excited to get back into the ring, but I think I pushed my body a little too fast, too soon.”

She continued, “Got back in the ring and my body just kind of said, let’s hold off a little bit longer so I am dealing with some health issues but, I always say never say never and I’m very hungry to get back and get back in that ring maybe one day again.”

Ash is part of the Elegance Brand that includes TNA Knockouts TV Champion M by Elegance, Heather by Elegance, Mr. Elegance, and The Personal Concierge.
