Ash by Elegance wins the Knockouts World Championship at NXT Heatwave 2025

On an incredible night of NXT Heatwave 2025, which featured several championship matches and important announcements, a historic moment unfolded. Ash by Elegance emerged victorious in a three-way match against Jacy Jayne and Masha Slamovich, thus capturing the Knockouts World Championship and bringing the title back to its original brand.

The match began with an unexpected alliance between Masha Slamovich and Ash by Elegance, who joined forces to target the champion, Jacy Jayne. However, Jayne showcased her experience and skill, taking advantage of the chaos to punish both challengers inside and outside the ring, while her allies provided support from ringside.

The battle intensified with a constant exchange of attacks and near-fall moments. Masha and Jacy displayed their strength with high-impact maneuvers, and in a chaotic moment, Masha delivered a Death Valley Driver to Jacy, who then fell onto Ash. Interferences from Fallon Henley and Jazmyn Nyx to aid Jayne became evident, prompting the referee to eject them from ringside.

In the closing moments, despite Jacy and Masha's efforts, it was Ash by Elegance who capitalized. After an exchange of blows, Ash soared from the heights with a Swanton Bomb onto Masha Slamovich, securing the three-count. With this victory, Ash by Elegance was crowned the new Knockouts World Champion, ending Jacy's brief reign of only 36 days.
