Ash made an appearance on Busted Open Radio and talked about her run in WWE. She said she wanted to do a lot of things and believed till the end that her day would come, but they didn’t believe in her. The 35-year-old further added, that her day of becoming a top star never came, and was just being used to take a pin from other top stars.

Dana’s WWE run wasn’t that successful, but still, she managed to capture the 24/7 title dozens of times.
In late 2023, she was released from WWE with several superstars, after a 10-year-long run with the company. The 35-year-old started her adult content site similar to Only Fans, before making her debut on TNA, at Hard to Kill.

Honestly think they (WWE) didn’t believe in me. You know, producers, T.J. (Wilson) was a very big advocate for me and he would always be like, ‘Dana can do it, Dana can do it, Dana can do it’ and it just, it wasn’t happening and I wasn’t that girl. I wasn’t the girl that they were trying to push to that next level.

Only time will tell whether Ash By Elegance manages to gain some kind of success in TNA or not.
