Dana Brooke left WWE in 2023

Dana Brooke, aka Ash By Elegance, kickstarted her pro wrestling career with WWE in 2013. She made her first televised in-ring debut in 2015 and was moved to the main roster a year later. However, the 36-year-old did not have the run she would have hoped for and only won the 24/7 Championship 15 times before getting released from the promotion.

Dana made her TNA debut in 2024, going by the name Ash by Elegance. She has been a prominent part of the company's women's division and is the current TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Champion.

Dana also returned to her old hunting ground for a one-off appearance in 2024. She showed up at NXT Battleground during the NXT Women's Championship match between Roxanne Perez and Jordynne Grace. The 15-time 24/7 Champion attempted to stop Tatum Paxley from stealing the TNA Knockouts title, but both women were taken out by Grace.
