The beef between Ash By Elegance and former Knockouts Champion Taryn Terrell just went up a notch—and this time, Ash is hitting below the belt by questioning Taryn’s skills as a wrestler.
On January 26, 2026, Taryn continued her criticism of Ash’s return to TNA Wrestling, making it clear she had no plans to return to action herself—but felt the need to speak out. Terrell said her comments weren’t about chasing gold but defending the integrity of a division she helped build.
“You know what’s great about sitting on the sidelines? I see everything from a different perspective. I’m not after a title. But I am passionate about protecting a legacy so many women worked their asses off to build.”
Ash By Elegance wasted no time firing back—and didn’t pull punches. She directly questioned Terrell’s in-ring credibility and took a jab at her current role outside the ring.
“You know why you’re on the sidelines… bc you make a better cheerleader than a wrestler … 🤸🏼♂️”
That was just the latest in their ongoing feud. It all began on January 25 when Terrell took a public shot at Ash, calling her “tacky” and saying she had lost all respect for her following her return to the company.
“I always support the Knockouts but as someone whose career was cut short, I have lost ALL respect for Ash by Tackiness @Ashamae_Sebera. As a former KO Champ I am so proud of the KO’s work and will be forever cheering yall on… well everyone except for the 🗑️🙄 @ThisIsTNA.”
Ash fired back later that same day, mocking Terrell’s wrestling career and making it clear she wasn’t here for the shade and called her irrelevant for good measure.
“I’m sorry who are you!? Oh yea… your career was short too but IRRELEVANT!! .. While you sit on the sidelines, watch me shine! Thx ☺️ - #sorrynotsorry #irrelevant.”
Ash’s in-ring return had already gotten attention after Matt Hardy confirmed she was once again an active competitor. She had previously been believed to be retired and working backstage—until she stepped into a recent TNA segment and got physical, confirming she was back in action.
Now, the attention is less about her matches and more about the explosive war of words happening between her and Terrell—one that could potentially lead to something bigger, even if Terrell is currently retired.
Should Taryn Terrell stay retired, or is this feud pushing her toward one last match against Ash By Elegance? Let us know if you think this should lead to an in-ring confrontation.
