WWE made its debut at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, NV with Sunday night’s NXT Battleground 2024 pay-per-view event. The co-main event featured a bout between NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez and TNA Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace with the NXT Women’s Title on the line.
Near the end of the match, Ash By Elegance (Dana Brooke in WWE) got involved where she was laid out by Grace.
While speaking with Liam Crowley of ComicBook.com, Ash talked about the appearance. She said,
“My gosh, it was seriously last minute. I was going about my week and I had an appearance on Saturday in Jacksonville. I get a call, I think it was late Thursday, even maybe early Friday morning, and they’re like, ‘Hey, are you available this weekend? We’d love to have you come back and do something with TNA and NXT,’ I was like, ‘What?! Oh yeah, count me in!’ They booked my flight from Jacksonville over to Vegas.“
She continued, “I kept everything on the DL. I was hiding. I had my hat, I had my hoodie, I had my sunglasses. Nobody knew who I was. I made that sneak appearance, sneak attack, and here I am. I took a red eye back to Miami this morning and am enjoying about a day and a half vacation with my family and then I’m back on the road for some TNA action in Chicago. I’m booked and busy, baby.”
