Released WWE Superstar and OnlyFans Star Makes Shocking Debut at TNA Hard to Kill

Seeing ex-WWE stars debut in other promotions is nothing new to the WWE Universe. However, seeing them debut with a similar gimmick to other stars is. This happened to one former WWE star who shocked everyone by debuting at TNA Hard To Kill. Here is everything that happened.

Dana Brooke debuts at TNA Hard To Kill

The WWE Universe has known Dana Brooke since she joined the company in 2013. She first made her appearance with Tyler Breeze at NXT TakeOver: Fatal 4-Way. Three years later, she would make her main roster debut on RAW in 2016.

During her initial run in the WWE, she was pushed as the next Beth Pheonix, thanks to her strong and imposing physique. However, due to her being green in the ring, her push was reduced. Her booking all throughout her career has not been stellar, and in some cases, they turned her into a jobber.

Her career hasn’t been that noteworthy despite having an impressive build and figure. In September 2023, she was released from the company, along with several other talents. This ended her decade-long tenure with the WWE. At TNA: Hard To Kill, she made her debut as Ash by Elegance, an old-timely wrestler that many have compared to the ‘Timeless’ Toni Storm gimmick in AEW.

Before her release from the company, she was moved down to NXT in 2023. Many were shocked at this decision as she has been a tenured veteran of the product. When people reached out, the WWE claimed that they had no doubt about her but wanted to try something else. Even after leaving the WWE, she’s been close to Mandy Rose, who was her tag team partner.

The comparisons to Toni Storm

As mentioned earlier, once Brooke debuted on TNA Hard To Kill, she was mocked and trolled for copying Toni Storm’s AEW gimmick. The fans were quick to point out the similarity. However, she has yet to make a statement on it.

This comes as no surprise to WWE fans as TNA has tried its best to reach WWE’s success with copycats. However, this isn’t the WWE they’re copying, its AEW. What do you think of Brooke’s debut? Tell us down below.
