TNA Knockouts Champion Ash by Elegance made a shocking announcement tonight at Victory Road.
A Knockouts Championship match between Ash by Elegance and Masha Slamovich was scheduled for tonight. However, that match was canceled due to the ongoing internal investigations against Slamovich for domestic violence allegations.
It was later announced that Ash would be making an important announcement tonight, but no one expected what we got.
TNA President Carlos Silva and Santino Marella were in the ring when Ash by Elegance came to the ring and announced that she was no longer able to compete and was vacating the Knockouts Championship. No specific reason was given by Ash as to why she had to relinquish the title.
.@Ashamae_Sebera is no longer able to compete and has forfeited the TNA Knockouts World Championship.

TNA wasted no time making multiple changes to tonight’s event. The Knockouts Tag Team Title match was moved to next week’s episode of iMPACT in favor of a Knockouts Battle Royale. The final two women would then compete for the vacant title later this evening.
The battle royale was won by Lei Ying Lee and NXT’s Kelani Jordan.
Stay tuned to our WrestleZone live results to see who will be crowned the new Knockouts Champion later tonight on Victory Road.
