Ash by Elegance shocked the world in September with some heartbreaking news that she was stepping away from the ring and retiring. At the time, Ash had finally achieved the too title in a promotion with the TNA Knockouts World Title. She had to relinquish that title at Victory Road.
In a recent interview with Fightful, all hope isn’t lost for Ash and when the time is right, she’ll also tell her story. Her retirement reason has been kept close to the chest as we don’t know as fans what has been going on with Ash.
“No, it definitely is. I will say this, I’ve seen so many things on the internet and when the time is right, I will come out and I will share my story. My story is not over yet. It’s very personal to me. It’s been very difficult. I feel like the world and the WWE Universe, TNA Universe, everybody knows that when the time is right, I always share and I keep it real. I just need to get over this hurdle and this personal situation that I’m dealing with mentally and also physically. But when the time is right, I will share my story 100%. But TNA gives me hope. They give me a position where I can manage my team and help the female locker room. It’s been such a blessing. I absolutely love what we’re doing here in El Paso. I am going to be one of the Elegant Elves and give back to the children’s hospital and over the holiday season. So when I’m at TNA and when I’m backstage, it makes me work 10 times harder, where you don’t see where I’m definitely trying anything I possibly can do to get back into the ring faster than you know it. I never say never, but when the time is right, I will come out and I will share my experience. Just give me time. Everyone processes differently. I’d like to get over obstacles before, then be able to speak about it.”
