Replacement set for Masha Slamovich indie match, TNA Victory Road update

With Masha Slamovich being pulled from the show, Shayna Baszler has a new opponent for her Prestige Wrestling debut.

Prestige Wrestling has announced that Baszler vs. Dani Luna will now take place at the promotion’s October 5 event in Portland, Oregon. Slamovich, who was originally scheduled to be Baszler’s opponent, was removed from the booking on Tuesday after domestic violence allegations against her emerged on social media.

Slamovich is accused of physically and emotionally abusing her former boyfriend AKIRA, a wrestler who previously competed for MLW. TNA Wrestling — which employs Slamovich — say they take the allegations very seriously and have opened an internal investigation.

A Knockouts Championship match with Slamovich challenging Ash By Elegance had been set for TNA’s Victory Road special this Friday. TNA’s website has taken down its article promoting the match.

Indie promotion West Coast Pro has also pulled Slamovich from an upcoming booking.

The October 5 Prestige show is Baszler’s first post-WWE indie match. She was released by WWE back in May but did recently make an appearance for the company at NXT Homecoming. Though WWE would like Baszler back full-time as a coach or producer, there is nothing in place at the moment and her Homecoming appearance was just a one-off.

Luna competes for TNA and is a former Knockouts Tag Team Champion for the promotion.

Prestige is one of the top independent wrestling companies in the Pacific Northwest but has announced that it will be going on an indefinite hiatus after it completes its next four events.
