A former TNA Knockouts World Champion has now booked her first wrestling appearance since her exit from the company.
Masha Slamovich is scheduled to return to the ring for the first time since abuse allegations emerged in 2025. Her comeback is set for Fan Jam 2026, marking her first confirmed booking since she was removed from TNA Wrestling television earlier this year.
MCW Pro Wrestling announced that Slamovich will appear on Sunday, March 1, 2026, in Joppa, Maryland. The booking represents her first official in-ring appearance since she quietly disappeared from the company’s programming and was later removed from the company’s website.
The appearance is being sponsored by Excitement South Entertainment and jointly presented by MCW and Adrenaline Championship Wrestling. Given the circumstances surrounding her departure from TNA, the announcement is expected to draw significant attention.
Slamovich was pulled from TNA television in September 2025 after her former partner, AKIRA, made public allegations of abuse. The claims surfaced after screenshots and photos were shared online by AKIRA’s manager, prompting TNA to launch an internal review. Slamovich has not competed publicly since that point.
In October 2025, Sports Illustrated journalist John Alba confirmed that Slamovich was no longer with TNA. The report noted that while her contract had not been renewed, the company remained open to revisiting discussions with her in 2026.
For now, Fan Jam 2026 will serve as Slamovich’s first step back into the wrestling spotlight following a lengthy and controversial absence.
When Did Masha Slamovich Win The TNA Knockouts World Championship?
Masha Slamovich won the TNA Knockouts World Title on October 26, 2024, at Bound for Glory, defeating Jordynne Grace for the title, who won the belt from Trinity at Hard To Kill in January 2024.
Slamovich held the title for 267 days and lost it to Jacy Jayne at Slammiversary on July 20, 2025, in a match where Jayne’s NXT Women’s Championship was also on the line in a winner-takes-all match.
