Ash By Elegance underwent a significant career transition following her release from WWE in September last year. Establishing herself as a bona fide star in TNA, her unexpected appearance at NXT Battleground 2024 this week caused quite a stir. Reports suggest that WWE went to great lengths to conceal her presence before her appearance, adding an element of surprise to her return to the WWE stage.
The highly anticipated matchup between TNA Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace and WWE NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez at NXT Battleground 2024 had the arena buzzing with excitement.
As tensions reached a boiling point, the anticipated clash took an unexpected turn when Tatum Paxley attempted to abscond with the TNA Knockouts Championship. Suddenly, Ash By Elegance made a surprise appearance, storming the ring to thwart Paxley’s scheme.
However, her interference inadvertently provoked Jordynne Grace, who swiftly retaliated against Elegance. Amidst the chaos, Roxanne Perez capitalized on the distraction to secure a victory over Grace, emerging triumphant despite the unexpected turn of events.
While speaking on Fightful Select’s Backstage Report podcast, Sean Ross Sapp noted that WWE ‘snuck in’ Ash By Elegance in order for her to make her surprise appearance at the NXT Battleground Premium Live Event.
“I was told Dana Brooke was ‘snuck in’ to make the surprise appearance.”
Fans were undoubtedly taken aback by Ash By Elegance’s sudden appearance at the Premium Live Event, especially considering it had been less than a year since her last NXT appearance. However, her unexpected return has sparked speculation about whether she will make more appearances on NXT television in the future. Only time will tell if Elegance will continue to be a presence on the NXT stage.
