TNA kick-started 2024 in style with their first PPV, Hard to Kill, making a lot of headlines. Many current and former WWE Superstars were in attendance for the show. One of them was former WWE Superstar turned Adult Model, Ash By Elegance, aka Dana Brooke. Fans couldn’t help but compare her gimmick with that of AEW’s Toni Storm.

The Hollywood Glam look seems to have a profound influence over Ash’s new gimmick. Many even went ahead to call it a “rip-off” of Toni Storm. Seeing the hate, Ash tried to act professional as she asked everyone to hold up their opinions until they saw her perform.

It's a hair style… I haven't cut a promo, or step foot in the ring & y'all are hating… lemme tell ya something, I like Toni Storm but respectfully she will never be me & I'll never be her!! But at least you're talking about me.

As can be understood, Ash acknowledged the similarity between their hairstyles, which look inspired by the old era of Hollywood. However, she also cleared how she and Storm can never be alike. Whether be it their working style or fan-following, there sure exists a lot that separates the two stars.

Ash By Elegance was last seen in attendance during the match between Trinity and Jordynne Grace. Her move generated a lot of attention, which is cherished deeply by the 35-year-old star. A similar move was also made by the former WWE Champion, Nic Nemeth, fka Dolph Ziggler who’d go on to attack Moose as well as rip off his t-shirt to reveal the TNA logo.

Ash By Elegance explains the meaning behind her new moniker

Hungry to achieve more glory outside WWE, former WWE Superstar, Dana Brooke recently made her TNA Debut. It was not only her presence that caught attention but even her new “three-word” moniker.

Ash by Elegance is a different side of me, but I try to live my life every single day as being super elegant. It just means so much that I’m definitely gonna bring that element into the ring and show everyone what class and elegance truly means.

As can be inferred, Brooke looks to surprise the wrestling fans with her new side. Hence, she has been very professional in dealing with the criticism and has asked for time to prove the change. She also touched on the conversation she had with Mickie James and Trinity before joining TNA.

Ash seems to be filled with determination to etch her name on the minds of people. While her skimpy shots have already grabbed attention, she hopes to rule the conversation more out of her wrestling prowess and accolades. Time will tell how her new stint with the TNA is going to be.
