Masha Slamovich is currently facing allegations of domestic violence by her ex-partner AKIRA, and it’s obviously a very serious matter. That’s why it comes as no surprise that TNA has now pulled Masha Slamovich from her scheduled match at Victory Road.
TNA Knockouts Champion Ash by Elegance’s match against Masha Slamovich has been removed from this Friday’s Victory Road pay-per-view as TNA carries out an internal investigation into the domestic abuse allegations against Slamovich that surfaced online.
All mentions of the match have been taken down from TNA’s official website. Ash appeared on last night’s NXT episode as part of the ongoing TNA invasion storyline, but Slamovich was notably absent.
This comes after several leaked texts revealed how things fell apart between Masha and AKIRA, leading to the domestic violence in the first place. It didn’t stop there as Masha even blamed AKIRA for her actions and tried to gaslight him. It went to a point that AKIRA even tried to take his own life multiple times during their relationship.
This development shows that TNA is taking the allegations seriously and acting quickly. With Victory Road only days away, the company is focusing on careful review instead of match promotion. Now the question is who will step in to challenge Ash by Elegance at TNA Victory Road this week.
