A second title change at the August 24 WWE NXT Heatwave in Lowell crowns Ash By Elegance as the new TNA Knockouts World Champion.

Ash By Elegance Wins Knockouts Title at WWE Heatwave 2025

Two title changes unfolded at the August 24 WWE NXT Heatwave premium live event in Lowell, Massachusetts. DarkState won the NXT Tag Team Championship from Hank Walker and Tank Ledger. In the following match, Jacy Jayne defended the NXT Womens Championship in a three way for the TNA Knockouts World Championship, and Ash By Elegance won the title. Ash By Elegance, formerly Dana Brooke in WWE, is now the TNA Knockouts World Champion. This win puts The Elegance Brand in control of all knockouts gold. It remains unclear whether Ash will hold both belts or if another member of The Elegance Brand will share the tag title. The event adds a twist to Heatwave and shifts the dynamics of future showdowns on the NXT and TNA rosters.

The outcome signals a cross brand power shift that broadens the storytelling scope for both NXT and TNA. Fans can expect more interconnected narratives and surprise title moves that cross promotion lines. The move also highlights talent mobility in the wrestling world, with Ash By Elegance stepping from a WWE background into a prominent KO role on another banner. Such changes heighten audience engagement but raise questions about title lineage and booking coherence across brands.

Highlights

The night leaves fans curious about what comes next for both brands.
