Masha Slamovich pulled from Squared Circle Expo VI lineup
Update:
Squared Circle Expo put out an update on Wednesday announcing that Masha Slamovich is no longer booked for the event, writing:
“First of all, I want to be transparent and say that I was who personally approved the appearance of Masha Slamovich to appear at Squared Circle Expo VI. I communicated with the vendor, and even discussed my concerns with them. After a ton of deliberation, it was decided that we would give Masha a chance to appear. It was not taken lightly or without hefty consideration.
I know we say all the time that we’re just a couple of dudes that love professional wrestling and want to share it with as many people as possible! That said, this situation has taught us that we’re also just a couple of dudes who are capable of getting it wrong…and boy did we ever.
After speaking to friends in the industry who know a bit more about the details of Masha’s situation, as well as carefully considering the feedback from fans and others in our business whose opinion we value, we have decided to pull Masha Slamovich’s appearance from the SCX VI. The vendor who was bringing her in for the appearance is also in agreement and fully supports the move as well.
While we still absolutely believe that many people will often deserve a second chance and the opportunity for redemption, the timing for this was ill thought out and regretable. We truly hope and wish for Masha to continue to better herself and hope that learning from past mistakes will allow for growth and a better future.”

Masha Slamovich has been announced for Squared Circle Expo VI next month.
On Tuesday, Squared Circle Expo announced that Slamovich has been added to the superstar roster for its upcoming event on March 27 and 28 in Indianapolis, Indiana.
“It is with great pleasure that we announce the addition of Wrestling Star, MASHA SLAMOVICH, to the superstar roster for Squared Circle Expo VI, happening March 27-28, 2026 @ the Wyndham Indianapolis West!“
The company also issued the following disclaimer regarding Slamovich’s booking:
“Yes we are fully aware of Masha’s scenario and past. That being said, she has sincerely apologized, and she was even punished by her employer for her actions, she is also doing things to right her wrongs. We are all human, and we all make mistakes, and not only that, we do believe in second chances, and one scenario does not tell the story of a whole life. If you have a negative thought or urge to comment negatively, we do remind you that we will delete it, and that there is nearly 100 other superstars at this event, and that while you may harbor certain feelings there are others that do not, and want to meet Masha. Please proceed respectfully, or just scroll on past till the next announcement. -Ed”
Slamovich wrestled her first match since domestic abuse allegations were made against her in September 2025 last month. She returned to the ring at a Circle 6 event on Friday, January 16, facing Haley J. She is also set to wrestle for the Maryland-based MCW promotion on March 1.
TNA announced in September 2025 that it had launched an internal investigation into the domestic abuse allegations against Slamovich. The former TNA Knockouts Champion was later removed from the company’s roster page in December. TNA has said it plans to revisit the situation in 2026 and has left the door open for Slamovich to return.
