Masha Slamovich is back in the wrestling worldand she returned in the most chaotic way possible.
On January 17, 2026, Slamovich stepped into the ring for the first time in months, battling Haley J in a vicious steel cage match at a Circle 6 Wrestling event. This was Slamovichs first match since domestic abuse allegations surfaced in September 2025, and she made her comeback count.
The match was pure carnage. Slamovich and Haley J threw down with multiple table spots, trash can shots, and even fought on top of the cage, delivering the kind of no-rules war that left fans speechless. For those who wondered how Masha would look after months of absenceshe didnt miss a beat.
This comeback follows a string of behind-the-scenes developments with TNA Wrestling. Back in December, Sports Illustrateds John Alba reported that Slamovich had quietly been removed from the TNA roster and was no longer with the company. However, it wasnt necessarily a permanent cut.
The change came after her ex-partner AKIRA publicly accused her of abuse. In response, Slamovich issued a statement in late 2025, calling the relationship toxic and mutually destructive. She admitted fault and expressed regret.
Now, with her steel cage return making headlines, its clear Slamovich isnt waiting around for corporate green lights. Shes wrestling againand doing it her way.
