Ash By Elegance Reflects On A Moment She Shared With Shawn Michaels At WWE NXT Heatwave

Ash By Elegance reflects on a moment that she shared with Shawn Michaels at WWE NXT Heatwave.

Before joining TNA Wrestling, Ash By Elegance was in WWE as Dana Brooke. At the end of her time in WWE, she was a part of the Shawn Michaels-led NXT brand. At WWE NXT Heatwave, her career came full circle when she won the TNA Knockouts World Championship in an NXT ring.

Speaking with Bill Pritchard of WrestleZone, Ash By Elegance reflected on a moment she shared with Shawn Michaels before the match, where HBK helped calm the nerves of the TNA star.

“I was so nervous, and Shawn looks at me, and he’s like, ‘You ready to go?’ I’m like, ‘Yeah.’ He goes, ‘Relax.’ He gives me a hug. He goes, ‘Just smile, soak it in.’ and I was like, ‘Oh my god, alright. So when I came back, he gave me a hug, and I was like, ‘Hey, can I have my Shawn Michaels picture, you know, like, with the point and stuff.’ So it was just such a full-circle moment to me. Shawn Michaels is one of the best, if not the best, in the entire world, with his selling, with his moves; everybody looks up to him. My Personal Concierge was star-struck when he met Shawn. And those words from Shawn, I’ll never forget them, ever.”
