The Total Diva's in-ring future has been up in the air since she gave up her Knockouts Championship at TNA Victory Road on September 27, citing medical reasons. During the recent Boca Raton Championship Wrestling event, Ash By Elegance shared some heartbreaking news for her fans.

In a tearful promo, she announced she hadn't been medically cleared to return to in-ring action and would have to forfeit her BRCW Women's Championship.

"I have to make an announcement that I am not medically cleared to compete, so with a heavy heart, I have to forfeit this title,” she said.

It didn't take long for the Florida-based Indie promotion to crown a brand new champion. During November Knockdown, former WWE Superstar Shayna Baszler defeated Kayden Carter to capture the vacant BRCW Women's Championship.

After the match, Ash By Elegance strapped the title around Baszler's waist as a show of respect.

The 36-year-old female star disclosed that TNA had offered her a new role backstage.

“Guys, thank you so much. It was an honor, a pleasure. Thanks for always tuning in, and supporting me. I might not be in the ring, but, I’ll still be busy. TNA has opened their doors for me and allowed me to do things backstage. Just not in the ring. Never say never so, maybe one day again,” she said.

The former Dana Brooke has since been working as a producer in TNA. Although there's no word on what led to her early retirement, WWE and ECW legend Tommy Dreamer said she is no longer physically able to compete.
