Ash By Elegance Talks About Recent Health Issues

Ash by Elegance has spoken of her recent health issues, with the former TNA Knockouts World Champion temporarily forced to retire in late 2025 as a result.

The former Dana Brooke relinquished the Knockouts Championship in September 2025 at TNA Victory Road, and temporarily left the business to deal with undisclosed health issues before returning in January 2026. Speaking to the Generation of Wrestling podcast, Ash shed some light on her current condition:

“I’m still going through it, which is crazy. You don’t have to have an injury. What I’m going through is a health issue,” said Ash. “A lot of people, especially in my situation, I don’t look sick. I feel good today, but tomorrow might not. So, it’s definitely a health issue.

“My issue is weird. They call it like a medical mystery. I’ve done so many things, I spent numerous days in the ICU that nobody really knows about because I haven’t put that out there yet until I honestly can find out really what this is. We’re on a good track now.

“In the beginning, what had happened that kind of forced me into retirement has trickled now into this, and it’s kind of all adding up to being this one diagnosis. I’m just not going to say it yet until it’s really out there.”

Ash added, “I’m good to wrestle, it’s just sometimes it’s difficult because my body kind of goes a little wonky.”

Ash later revealed that she is set to undergo more tests in the coming weeks, and revealed during a different interview (with BCP+) that she will share more details when she has more clarity on her condition:

“The last couple 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.” Ash continued, “It’s unfortunate that I have to say it is health issues that I’m going through 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.”
