Ash By Elegance celebrates her TNA Knockouts Championship victory.

At NXT Heatwave on August 24th, Jacy Jayne would defend the TNA Knockouts Championship in a triple threat match against TNA’s Masha Slamovich and Ash By Elegance. Just when it looked like Jacy Jayne had the bout won, The Elegance Brand would pull her out of the ring, freeing Ash to climb to the top rope and hit her swanton to score the victory and the TNA Knockouts Championship. The Elegance Brand now hold both the TNA Knockouts World Title and Knockouts Tag Titles.

In a new post on her Instagram story, Ash would react to her victory, noting that it’s why you never burn bridges.

“Wow… so many emotions- so many tears… years of dedication… & I had many fears!! Sometimes I felt like giving up & not knowing if I should keep going! BUT I had to prove it to myself… I CAN.. I WILL & I WANT TOO! Haters can say what they want… but NOTHING or NO ONE will rain on my parade!!! This title came FULL circle … I started in NXT in 2012.. not knowing anything about wrestling… not knowing anyone in the business…& I ended my WWE career in an NXT ring in September 2023! I couldn’t make this up in my wildest dreams… this is why you never burn bridges… you never know how this crazy life works… I had the opportunity to capture a title back in the WWE/NXT ring with a company that BELIEVED in me and took a chance! I took a chance on myself… I made a promise to myself that I will pull out ALL THE stops to become the TNA CHAMPION in a ring I use to call HOME, NXT!!! I may not be the best wrestler… but no wrestler IN THIS WORLD has the drive, the hunger, and the passion as I do!!! This is the Ultimate story… this title isn’t just for me… it’s for everyone out there that felt like giving up at something but kept their head in the right mind-space and know it is possible! Learn it from me… whether you LOVE ME or HATE ME… this is a message for everyone out there… NEVER GIVE UP… TOMORROW IS NEVER PROMISED!!! – Ash”
