Title Vacancy and Ash By Design’s Departure
Teh TNA Knockouts World Championship changed hands at a recent event, but not as originally planned. The title was declared vacant following the removal of Masha Slamovich from a scheduled championship defense due to allegations of domestic violence, as reported by wrestling Inc. on September 21, 2024. Later, Ash By Design (formerly Dana Brooke in WWE) withdrew from contention for the championship.
Ash By Design, who signed with TNA in February 2024 after her release from WWE in September 2023, announced her departure on X (formerly Twitter), citing personal reasons and a need to prioritize her well-being.While she did not elaborate on specifics, she expressed gratitude to TNA and the fans. Her withdrawal led to a Battle Royal to determine the new challenger for the vacant title.
I have made the difficult decision to step away from TNA. I need to prioritize my health and well-being at this time. Thank you to TNA, the locker room, and the amazing fans for the possibility.❤️
