Dana Brooke/Ash by Elegance signs TNA Wrestling contract

TNA Wrestling officially has another new addition to their Knockouts division as they announced Wednesday that Ash by Elegance has signed a contract.

Ash is the former Dana Brooke of WWE fame. 

Her first match in TNA will mark her first ever outside WWE or NXT. She was not announced as appearing on this Thursday's TNA Impact and her TV debut date is unknown.

Ash, and an unnamed male assistant, made their TNA on-screen debut at last Saturday's Hard to Kill, sitting in the crowd during the Knockouts title match between then-champion Trinity and Jordynne Grace. She didn't get involved in the match, nor was the basis of her new moniker revealed.

In an interview with Busted Open Radio, Ash revealed a bit about her new identity:

"So Ash by Elegance is a different side of me, but I try and live my life every single day as being super elegant. Elegant is a word -- but I feel like it has a variety and many multiple meanings of it. It’s classiness, it’s elegance, it’s beautiful, it just means so much that I’m definitely going to bring that element into the ring and show everyone what class and elegance truly means."

Brooke (Ashley Mae Sebera) was released by WWE in September 2023 while she was part of the NXT brand, ending a 10-year run with WWE that also began in NXT. During her decade on the main roster and NXT, she only held the 24/7 title.

No details on the length of the deal were provided.

It's the second new addition to the division this week as former WWE NXT UK wrestler Xia Brookside was announced as signing a contract Saturday following her promotional debut in an Ultimate X match.
