Masha Slamovich Officially Exits TNA Wrestling Following Quiet Removal From Roster

It appears Masha Slamovich’s time in TNA has come to an unceremonious end. According to recent reports, the former Knockouts Champion is officially done with the promotion following the expiration of her contract. There was no “future endeavors” tweet, no thank-you montage set to generic rock music, and certainly no fanfare. Just a digital eraser taken to the roster page and the sound of a contract clock hitting zero.

For anyone who has been paying attention to the dirt sheets or just possessed a working pair of eyes since September, this shouldn’t come as a shock. The writing hasn’t just been on the wall; it’s been spray-painted in neon letters for months.

A Championship Run That Hit a Wall

It is impossible to discuss the exit without looking at just how high Slamovich had climbed before the fall. She wasn’t just a roster filler; she was the standard-bearer. She defeated Jordynne Grace—arguably the most dominant female wrestler on the planet—to win the Knockouts Title at Bound for Glory back in October 2024. That isn’t a small feat. That is the wrestling equivalent of being handed the keys to the kingdom.

She held that belt for a staggering 267 days. In an era where championships change hands because a booker got bored on a Tuesday, a reign of that length implies trust. She was a triple-crown threat, holding the tag titles multiple times with Killer Kelly and Alisha Edwards. She was TNA’s lethal weapon, a stiff-working, no-nonsense striker who looked like she could legitimately hurt people.

But the wrestling business is fickle, and “talent” only buys you so much runway when the baggage starts to get heavy. Her loss to Jacy Jayne at Slammiversary 2025 marked the end of her title run, but the real end came shortly after, when real-life allegations blurred the lines of her on-screen persona.

The Allegations That Stopped Slamovich’s Momentum

The momentum came to a screeching halt in September. When former MLW wrestler AKIRA came forward with domestic abuse allegations, the industry froze. These weren’t vague rumors of “bad attitude”; these were serious accusations involving law enforcement and investigations.

TNA did what any modern company trying to avoid a PR nightmare would do: they launched an internal investigation and pulled Masha Slamovich from television. It’s the standard corporate playbook. You don’t fire someone immediately and risk a lawsuit, but you definitely don’t put them on TV and risk a sponsor revolt. You put them in limbo.

Slamovich issued a statement acknowledging a “toxic and mutually destructive relationship,” attempting to take responsibility for her part in the chaos. She hasn’t wrestled or said anything since this incident was made public. Promoters, usually eager to book a name talent, saw the radioactive symbol glowing over her head and steered clear. Don’t expect that to change.

What Now For Masha Slamovich?

The wrestling world has a notoriously short memory. Talents who have done far worse have found their way back into the squared circle after a “sufficient” amount of time has passed. However, the landscape is changing. The tolerance for toxicity is lower than it used to be.

With TNA closing the door and her NXT crossover days likely over, Slamovich finds herself in a professional wilderness. She is an immense talent, arguably one of the best in-ring workers of her generation, but talent is rarely the only metric that matters anymore.

For now, Masha Slamovich is a free agent, but don’t expect a bidding war. The silence surrounding her exit from TNA is likely to follow her, at least for a while.
