Former TNA Knockouts World Champion Ash By Elegance has re-signed with TNA Wrestling. Voted as both Knockout of the Year and part of the Knockouts Tag Team of the Year for 2025, Ash By Elegance’s continued commitment to TNA will be welcomed by wrestling fans around the world. The leader of The Elegance Brand broke the news this afternoon in an interview.
“There have been so many amazing things that have happened in the last couple of weeks, since TNA’s debut on AMC. One of those things is that I got some amazing news from my medical team and the doctors, that I am medically cleared. And I am very excited to announce that I have re-signed with TNA. It’s great to have a company that’s behind me and is holding my hand every step of the way.”
At TNA Victory Road, Ash by Elegance announced her retirement and vacated the TNA Knockouts World title. The news came as a true shocker. She quickly became a TNA producer and backstage agent, while continuing to be associated with the Elegance Brand on TV. Even if Ash has never revealed why she had to retire, the fact is that the Knockout is now cleared and back in action. Last week, on Thursday Night iMPACT, she proved it when she hit TNA Knockouts World Champion Léi Ying Lee with the Kiss My Ash.
Elayna Black
Elayna Black, one of the most exciting rising stars in professional wrestling, has signed with TNA Wrestling. She confirmed the news this morning during a live interview on Busted Open on SiriusXM. The signing marks a homecoming for Black, who began wrestling in 2018 and made her first TNA appearance in 2019.
Hailing from Chicago, Illinois, Black trained under Bryce Benjamin, Isaias Velasquez, and TNA’s own Mustafa Ali. She dropped out of school at age 15 to pursue her wrestling career full-time. Black has enjoyed success worldwide, including an acclaimed death match in 2020.
Joining the WWE NXT brand in 2021, using the name Cora Jade, Black won the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championship and made history by becoming the youngest-ever NXT WarGames competitor, a match in which she famously executed a high-risk dive from the top of the steel cage.
She was introduced as TNA Wrestling’s newest Knockout on January 15 during the premiere of Thursday Night iMPACT! on AMC and now has her sights set on the prestigious TNA Knockouts World Championship. She is set to compete on Thursday Night iMPACT tomorrow night.

Mr. Elegance
Mr. Elegance, one of the hottest free agents in the wrestling business, has signed with TNA Wrestling. He announced the news yesterday during an exclusive interview.
“I am here to announce that I have signed with TNA Wrestling… at the height of TNA Wrestling! There is no better time to join TNA than right now. And there’s no better time to have somebody that looks like me, and trust me, it’s one of one, join TNA.
“Put it all over the news, put it all over social media, get it trending across the world… because everyone has been talking about me, moi, Mr. Elegance. And now everyone will be talking about the official news that I have signed with TNA.”
Hailing from Laguna Beach, California, Mr. Elegance is a former National Champion natural bodybuilder and freestyle skier. He won his spot as the fifth member of TNA Wrestling’s Elegance Brand, alongside Ash by Elegance, Heather by Elegance, M by Elegance, and The Personal Concierge, after the group held a two-month talent search, unveiling him on TNA’s debut show on AMC on January 15 in Dallas.
“The most important thing that is going on in professional wrestling today, as seen on the debut episode of TNA Thursday Night iMPACT on AMC, is the reveal of Mr. Elegance. There was never a question that it was going to be me!”
Andreas John Ziegler, 26, began working out in his parents’ basement at the age of nine. He appeared in NJPW and RoH before joining OVW in 2021. In June 2025, AJZ debuted for TNA Wrestling.
