Masha Slamovich Booked for First Wrestling Appearance Since Abuse Allegations

Masha Slamovich is set to return to the wrestling scene for the first time since domestic abuse allegations surfaced against her in 2025—and it’s all going down at Fan Jam 2026.

MCW Pro Wrestling took to Twitter and announced that the former TNA Knockouts World Champion will appear at the event on Sunday, March 1, 2026, in Joppa, Maryland, marking her first official pro wrestling booking since being removed from TNA television and quietly cut from the company website earlier this year.

“Former #TNA Knockouts World Champion @MashaSlamovich is coming to #FanJam5 on Sunday March 1st from The RJ Meyer Arena in Joppa, #Maryland 💥 Tickets 🎟️ go on sale Monday December 29th and Meet & Greet info will be available in the coming days 🔥”

The appearance is sponsored by Excitement South Entertainment and jointly presented by MCW and Adrenaline Championship Wrestling. Slamovich’s return is expected to draw attention from fans and critics alike, given the circumstances that led to her absence.

Back in September 2025, Slamovich was pulled from all TNA programming after her former partner, wrestler AKIRA, accused her of abuse. The allegations went public when AKIRA’s current manager posted screenshots and photos online, leading to an internal investigation by TNA.

By October this year, Sports Illustrated’s John Alba confirmed she was no longer with the company, but the company is willing to touch base and regroup with her in 2026.

“I’m told she is not currently with the company, but leadership plans to touch base with her and regroup in 2026.”

Slamovich responded to the public fallout with a statement acknowledging the damage done in the relationship:

“Up until the beginning of this year, I was in a toxic and mutually destructive relationship. We hurt each other deeply… I take responsibility for my actions and I am sorry, embarrassed, and ashamed of the role I played in our relationship.”

Slamovich stepping back into the limelight at Fan Jam 2026 could be the start of a new chapter—or end up creating more heat. Either way, it’s the first time she’s lacing up her boots since the drama, and everyone will be watching.
