According to comments she made during a recent virtual signing, Ash By Elegance’s in-ring career may be over.

Elegance vacated the TNA Knockouts World Championship at TNA Victory Road, saying that she is “no longer able to compete.” TNA Wrestling stated in an injury update that details of her situation were being kept private.

During a recent virtual signing appearance with Rich Degregorio, Elegance referred to an item up for auction as the shirt she retired in.

“30 dollars for this top. It is worn with me and Paige VanZant but also this is the shirt I retired in. 30 dollars, my retirement t-shirt.”

At the very end of her signing, Elegance said “never say never” in reference to a possible return to the ring and also mentioned that she has been given some work backstage in TNA Wrestling.

“Thanks for always tuning in and supporting me. I might not be in the ring but I’ll still be busy. TNA has opened their doors for me and allowed me to do things backstage, just not in the ring. Never say never so maybe one day again but until then, thank you guys so much.”

Ash By Elegance’s first comments about retirement come in around the 1-hour and 17-minute mark of the video, which is available here, and her final comments about maybe one day returning are at the very end.
