Ash By Elegance to make ‘special announcement’ at TNA Victory Road

Her initial plans for the show had to be scrapped, but Knockouts World Champion Ash By Elegance is still set to appear at TNA Victory Road.

TNA has revealed that Ash will make a “special announcement” on tonight’s Victory Road broadcast. She was originally scheduled to defend her title against Masha Slamovich at the show. Their match was pulled due to Slamovich being an under an internal investigation by TNA after it was alleged that she physically and mentally abused her former boyfriend AKIRA during their relationship.

“As revealed on social media, Ash By Elegance will make a special announcement at Victory Road,” TNA wrote. “What will the Knockouts World Champion have to say? Tune in to find out.”

Ash vs. Slamovich was supposed to be a no DQ match with Indi Hartwell serving as the special guest referee. Hartwell has earned the right to challenge for the Knockouts Championship at TNA’s Bound for Glory pay-per-view on October 12.

Formerly known as Dana Brooke during her WWE career, Ash By Elegance became the new Knockouts Champion by defeating Jacy Jayne and Slamovich in a triple threat match last month at NXT Heatwave.

Victory Road will stream live on TNA+ tonight with the main card starting at 9 p.m. Eastern. The show is being held in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada at the Edmonton Expo Centre.
