Wrestling World Rocked: TNA Wrestler Masha Slamovich Faces Serious Allegations
The professional wrestling community have entered a storm nobody saw coming. Masha Slamovich, the former TNA Knockouts World Champion who’s been tearing up rings across the country, now finds herself at the center of domestic violence allegations that have sent shockwaves through the industry.
The Allegations Surface
The bombshell dropped when AKIRA’s friend took to social media, unleashing what they claimed were 114 pieces of evidence including screenshots and photos allegedly showing abusive behavior from the wrestler known as Anna Khozina outside the ring. The timing couldn’t have been worse for someone who just months ago was being celebrated as one of wrestling’s rising stars.
AKIRA himself, the independent wrestler at the heart of these accusations, painted a devastating picture in his own social media response. The man who once held the MLW World Middleweight Championship revealed he contemplated suicide on three separate occasions during what he described as their troubled relationship. That’s not exactly the kind of drama anyone expects from professional wrestling’s soap opera storylines.
The wrestling world has seen its share of controversies, but when allegations this serious surface, it’s hard to look away. The screenshots allegedly show disturbing text exchanges, though as of this writing, none have been independently verified. Still, the wrestling community isn’t exactly known for its patience when it comes to these situations.
Industry Response Swift and Decisive
TNA Wrestling didn’t waste time crafting a carefully worded response. When reached for comment, a company spokesperson delivered the standard corporate line: “We take any allegations like this very seriously, and have begun an internal investigation.”Â
But here’s where things get interesting. The independent wrestling scene, which usually operates like the Wild West with fewer rules and oversight, started moving faster than a steel chair to the head. West Coast Pro Wrestling pulled Masha Slamovich from their “How The West Was Won” event scheduled for November 1st. Slamovich was supposed to face Miko Alana, but now that match is off the books. Prestige Wrestling followed suit, removing her from their Roseland XII event.
Wrestling Career in Jeopardy
The 27-year-old wrestler was riding high after defeating Jordynne Grace at TNA’s Bound For Glory 2024 to capture the Knockouts World Championship. She was also a three-time TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Champion as well.
Her championship reign ended at this year’s Slammiversary when she dropped the title to Jacy Jayne. It looked like Slamovich was WWE bound with her competing in NXT shows. That should have been just another chapter in what looked like a promising career trajectory. Instead, it might end up being remembered as the final highlight before everything fell apart.
The Human Cost
Behind all the wrestling business talk and corporate statements, there’s a human element that can’t be ignored. AKIRA’s emotional response on social media revealed someone genuinely struggling. “I woke up to this and people asking me if I was okay. Kinda wanna throw up, kinda want to go away forever,” AKIRA wrote in his response. Those aren’t the words of someone playing games or seeking attention – they’re the raw emotions of someone dealing with trauma.
What Happens Next
TNA’s internal investigation will likely determine Slamovich’s immediate future with the company. These corporate investigations can drag on for weeks or months, leaving everyone in limbo. Meanwhile, her independent wrestling bookings are evaporating faster than a wrestler’s credibility after a botched finish.
For now, Slamovich remains silent on the allegations. Her representatives haven’t responded to requests for comment, which could be strategic legal advice and it will be interesting what she says. The wrestling world will be watching closely to see how this situation develops.
