Ash By Elegance shocked the world at Victory Road when she announced that she was stepping away from the ring and relinquishing the TNA Knockouts World Title.
Not much has been said outside of her words that she said at that event in the ring. She stated that life sometimes throws a curveball and that she is no longer able to compete in the ring. In a recent mention of Ash on Busted Open Radio, TNA producer Tommy Dreamer stated that this is not a work and people need to stop speculating as such.
“She is no longer physically able to compete, per her statement and that’s it,” Dreamer said on Busted Open Radio (h/t Wrestling Inc). “There’s HIPAA laws involved and stuff like that. People shouldn’t speculate. If it’s a work, you’re not going to hand in your title.”
“It sucks for her, because it was like she just hit the high of highs with her career, and it was off to the races,” Dreamer continued. “It was going to be the winner of her match faced Indi [Hartwell] to defend the title at [Bound for Glory] and everything has to change. ‘Card subject to change’ is a real thing.”
In addition to this, on this week’s episode of iMPACT!, commentator Tom Hannifan stated that – “medical details are being kept private at this time” and that it is an undisclosed injury.
Diva Dirt continues to send our well wishes out to Ash with whatever she is dealing with at this time.
