Update On Masha/TNA/NXT, Correcting Aggregations, Contract Update

Added 2025-09-24 22:10:27 +0000 UTC

We have some updates and a correction on Masha Slamovich.

The TNA Knockouts champion was accused of domestic abuse against her former partner, Akira. TNA told Sports Illustrated's Jon Alba that they were launching an internal investigation on the situation. WWE sources told Fightful Select that any plans of using her for the invasion angle would be paused if there were any.

There were some subsequent aggregations that said that we reported that Masha was "nixed" from the invasion angle, which is not the case. In fact, we're told that Masha was never planned for the September 23 angle, and isn't even in the country, as she's in Spain at the moment. We've not heard of upcoming plans for her in the invasion angle, and for good reason -- her contract.

Fightful Select has also learned that Masha's contract with TNA is up relatively soon, and it was still up in the air whether or not she'd even remain with the company. She was scheduled to lose her TNA Knockouts Title match against Ash by Elegance, which is now in question.
