Masha Slamovich announced for first match since TNA Wrestling exit
Former TNA Knockouts World Champion Masha Slamovich’s return to the ring has been announced.
Maryland Championship Wrestling has announced Slamovich for its Fan Jam 5 show on Sunday, March 1, 2026, from the RJ Meyer Arena in Joppa, Maryland. It will be her first match since TNA Wrestling announced it was opening an investigation into Slamovich following domestic abuse allegations that surfaced online in September.

Earlier this month, Fightful reported that Slamovich’s contract had expired and that she was no longer with the promotion. Sports Illustrated later reported that TNA sources told them Slamovich “is not currently with the company, but leadership plans to touch base with her and regroup in 2026.” Her profile is no longer featured on TNA’s website.
In September, Slamovich released a public statement addressing the domestic abuse allegations levied against her.
Slamovich wrote:
“Up until the beginning of this year, I was in a toxic and mutually destructive relationship. We hurt each other deeply, and in private moments, failed to treat each other with the consideration and respect we both deserve.
I take responsibility for my actions and I am sorry, embarrassed, and ashamed of the role I played in our relationship and the way things turned out.
In the time since, I have sought help to reflect on this time and deal with conflict in more mature, healthier, and sustainable ways.
I apologize to those I let down, including my former partner. I hope he is able to heal.
This will be my only statement on the matter.
-Masha”
Prestige Wrestling and West Coast Pro also pulled Slamovich from bookings shortly after the allegations surfaced.
