After months of fallout, Masha Slamovich is back in the ring
Two matches in one day mark her most visible return since 2025
Masha Slamovich returned to the ring Saturday with two independent bookings in Pennsylvania, her most active night in months following the fallout from domestic abuse allegations in late 2025.
She first appeared for Pennsylvania Championship Wrestling Alliance in Mount Carmel, defeating Nahir Robles. Later that night, she worked for PPW in Slatington, where she lost to Sammi Chaos. The double booking marked a clear step back into a regular in-ring schedule.
The appearances follow a largely overlooked return match in January at a small show in Minnesota.
Slamovich’s absence traces back to September 2025, when fellow wrestler AKIRA accused her of domestic abuse. A Dropbox link circulated publicly at the time, containing more than 100 screenshots and photos that allegedly showed messages and visible injuries described as evidence of physical, emotional, and verbal abuse.
AKIRA alleged Slamovich assaulted him during their relationship. The materials reportedly included text exchanges and images of bruising and scratches. Others close to the situation said they had witnessed verbal abuse. No criminal charges have been announced.
Slamovich later issued a statement describing the relationship as “toxic and mutually destructive,” saying both parties caused harm and that she was seeking help.
The impact was immediate across the industry. In TNA Wrestling, she was pulled from a scheduled Knockouts World Championship match at Victory Road. The company opened an internal investigation, then allowed her contract to expire in October. She was removed from the roster page by December.
Independent bookings also fell through. Promotions including West Coast Pro Wrestling and Prestige Wrestling pulled her from events, and she was stripped of the JCW World Championship on October 26, 2025.
Her return since then has been uneven.
She has made select public appearances, including The Big Event in New York, and was recognized with an award from the Women’s Wrestling Hall of Fame. At the same time, a scheduled appearance at Squared Circle Expo VI in Indianapolis was canceled after backlash, with organizers saying the timing was not appropriate.
MCW Pro Wrestling announced her for Fan Jam on March 1, 2026, in Joppa. The booking was limited to a meet-and-greet. According to someone who was there, only two fans approached her table.
Saturday’s matches in Mount Carmel and Slatington represent her most visible return to in-ring competition to date, even as the response around her remains mixed.
