Ash By Elegance has arrived in TNA, as she made her debut at TNA Hard To Kill. Now, the former Dana Brooke is ready to show the world what she can do.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Ash By Elegance discussed her move to TNA Wrestling. First, she looked back on her debut and stated that it was an amazing feeling (H/t Jeremy Lambert of Fightful for the transcription)
“It was such an amazing feeling. Being in Vegas, being at TNA Wrestling, Hard to Kill. Walking into an amazing arena and watching the Knockouts Division title match with Jordynne and Trinity, it was such a great feeling to make my presence be known as such an amazing event.”
Ash By Elegance On Her Name
During the interview, Ash By Elegance was asked about what her name means. She explained that it was a different side of her, and she was going to show everyone what class and elegance really means.
“Ash By Elegance is a different side of me, but I’m trying with my life every single day as being super elegant,” she said. “Elegant is a word that I feel has a variety and multiple meanings. It’s classiness, it’s elegant, it’s beautiful. It just means so much and I’m definitely going to bring that element into the ring and show everyone what class and elegance really means.”
Ash By Elegance Plans To Show Drive, Determination In TNA
The former WWE star was also asked what was going to be different for her in this new chapter. She emphasized that she was going to show people a different side of herself. She stated that she did not have the opportunity to show her true potential in WWE. Ash expressed her confidence that TNA is the place where she will have a chance to do so.
“You’re going to see drive and determination and a side of me that people haven’t seen. I had mentioned to people before in the locker room, when I was at TNA, ‘I was never given the opportunity to show my true potential.’ The one match I did where I really felt like I opened up was one of my last matches, the kendo stick match, and a match after that with the champion where I was able to bring out a different side of aggression and passion and things I felt like I was held back from because I was working 90-second matches.
“What can you do in that 90 seconds beside tell the story you’re given to tell the story with? I feel as though TNA is going to let me explore this side of me of who I truly am. I want to go the limit. I was the girl, when we were putting matches together in WWE, ‘I want to do this. I want to go high flying, I want to dive onto a table and be hit in the back with a chair.’ They’re like, ‘No, we’ll get there; we’ll build to it.’ I was the one, ‘Put me in coach, I’ll do this and do that.’ TNA is the place where I’ll be able to do it. It’s hardcore and I’m ready for it.”
Fans will have to wait and see what the future holds for Ash By Elegance.
