Masha Slamovich, a former TNA Knockouts World Champion, has competed in her first wrestling match since September 2025, after domestic abuse allegations surfaced. At the time, she issued a statement calling the relationship “toxic” and expressing regret, but TNA still removed her from their roster in December 2025. However, showing her career is far from over, she has now wrestled Haley J at a Circle 6 Wrestling event, suggesting she is focusing on rebuilding her reputation via the indies.
27-year-old Slamovich, born Anna Khozina in Moscow, Russia, debuted in professional wrestling in 2016 in Japan, then gained prominence on the U.S. independent scene, excelling in promotions like GCW. However, while her hard-hitting, versatile style shone in TNA, the promotion clearly felt that, given its working relationship with WWE and its desire for a new television deal, it wasn’t worth the potential backlash of keeping her under contract.
