Ash By Elegance reflects on WWE Money in the Bank.
Ash By Elegance (formerly Dana Brooke in WWE) made her TNA Wrestling debut at TNA Hard to Kill, sitting ringside for the TNA Knockouts Title bout between Jordynne Grace and Trinity.
Brooke was on and off television during her WWE run and rarely involved in major matches before she was released in September 2023.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, she was asked why she thought WWE didn't give her more opportunities
"I honestly think they didn't believe in me. Producers, TJ [TJ Wilson aka Tyson Kidd] would be a big advocate for me. He'd always be like, 'Dana can do it,' and it wasn't happening. I wasn't that girl. I wasn't the girl they were trying to push to the next level. I was the one to always take the pinfall, and I was okay with it, thinking in my mind, 'Okay, there is going to be a shot and a next time,' and there was never a next time. I fought so hard, it was 2018 or 2019 in the Money in the Bank, I wanted to hang from the briefcase, swing from it, and fall and a pile of girls catch me. 'No, that's a little too dangerous.' I was in gymnastics for 18 years, the bars are this high and I would do double backflips and land. I promise, I'm okay, just let me do it. It would be a wow factor. I just don't think they had the confidence in me," she said.
Ash competed in the 2019 and 2020 WWE Money in the Bank matches.
