Ash By Elegance is back in the ring — but she’s making it clear everything isn’t fully behind her yet when it comes to her health.
After returning to TNA Wrestling in January 2026 following a health-related hiatus that forced her to vacate the Knockouts Championship in 2025, Ash is now opening up about where things stand. In a new update during an appearance on BCP+, she revealed that while she fought her way back, recent weeks haven’t been easy. She started by acknowledging the reality of what she’s still dealing with — making it clear her comeback didn’t magically fix everything.
“Now, you know, I’ve had some ups and some downs, as you mentioned. I’ve had some health issues that forced me into retirement.”
Ash then explained that even though she’s cleared to compete again, her health hasn’t been completely stable since stepping back into the ring. Despite that uncertainty, she made it clear she’s not backing away. Wrestling is still the thing pushing her forward, even during difficult moments.
“But with everything being done and said, I’ve worked my way back to being able to come back to the ring and compete. The last couple of weeks have been a little shaky with me and my health. With that being said, I am more than determined, more than motivated, and wrestling is what keeps me going. As crazy as it sounds, when I have that goal in sight, it drives me to say, ‘Okay, I have to get better. I have to get back to it.’”
The former TNA Knockouts Champion also took time to directly address rumors that had started circulating online about her condition — shutting down speculation that she might be pregnant.
“With those that are wondering—everyone’s on Twitter and Instagram saying, ‘Oh, she’s pregnant,’ and all that—it’s unfortunate that I have to say it is health issues that I’m going through.”
Ash by Elegance added that while she plans to share more in the future, she’s still trying to understand the full picture before speaking in detail.
“And once I have the proper diagnosis and everything, I am going to come out and share my story with everything that has been going on, because I am a very open and honest person. It’s just right now, things are kind of all over the place. It’s a bit scary, so I want to make sure that I know everything that’s going on.”
Ash By Elegance’s return to TNA may have looked like a comeback story on the surface, but this update shows it’s still very much a work in progress. She’s back, she’s competing, but she’s also dealing with real uncertainty behind the scenes — and choosing to push forward anyway while figuring things out.
