TNA Star Masha Slamovich Accused Of Domestic Violence

TNA star Masha Slamovich, known for her smash-mouth style and breakout performances in recent years, has found herself in the headlines for reasons outside the ring. The Knockouts standout is facing troubling allegations from her former partner, independent wrestler AKIRA, who claims Slamovich was physically abusive during their relationship.

The situation unfolded when AKIRA’s manager posted screenshots and photos online, allegedly documenting incidents of domestic violence. The material included text conversations between the two wrestlers along with images of injuries — such as facial bruising, split lips, and marks on AKIRA’s hands.

One exchange allegedly shows AKIRA confronting Slamovich, writing: “You hit me. You’re wrong.” The reply, attributed to Slamovich’s number, read: “You cursed at me — that’s why you got hit.”

The messages paint a picture of a toxic and volatile relationship, with Slamovich allegedly venting frustrations over her career struggles and AKIRA expressing concern about her behavior. AKIRA’s manager further questioned Slamovich’s place in wrestling’s spotlight, calling out her recent accolades while these accusations hang over her.

This comes at a pivotal moment in Slamovich’s career. After winning the Knockouts World Championship from Jordynne Grace at Bound for Glory 2024, Slamovich dropped the belt to Jacy Jayne at Slammiversary 2025. She’s now booked to challenge Ash by Elegance for the title at Victory Road this Friday, September 26.

As of now, Slamovich has not released a statement regarding the allegations. It remains to be seen how TNA — or the wrestling world at large — will respond as the story continues to develop.

Mr. Anderson Makes TNA Return After Nearly a Decade

It’s been nine long years since fans last saw Ken Anderson inside a TNA ring, but the former two-time World Champion finally made his return this week—and it didn’t exactly go as planned.

Anderson appeared as a guest on Frankie Kazarian’s in-ring talk segment in Minneapolis, with friends and family in attendance for the homecoming. What started as a respectful sit-down quickly turned into a verbal sparring match.

Kazarian, who has recently set his sights on Steve Maclin’s TNA International Championship, used the opportunity to bring up Maclin’s military background. With Anderson having served in the U.S. Army Reserve, Kaz sought his opinion—though his questioning quickly veered into insults. Kazarian belittled Anderson’s service, even questioning his character, before taking personal shots about his family.

The verbal jabs were too much for Anderson, who finally stood up for himself by grabbing Kaz’s wrist to shut him down. But before the confrontation could escalate further, Jake Something blindsided Anderson. The ambush revealed Kazarian had recruited Jake as his latest protégé after tensions between the two men seemed to flare just last week.

Luckily for Anderson, Steve Maclin hit the ring to even the odds and chase off Kaz and Jake.

Now, the stage is set: Anderson will officially return to action next week, teaming with Maclin against Kazarian and Jake Something in tag team action.

Nine years away, and Mr. Anderson is already back in the thick of TNA drama—exactly where fans expected him to be.

TNA’s Joe Hendry Reportedly Set for Full-Time WWE Move in 2026

It looks like Joe Hendry’s WWE run is only just beginning.

The former TNA World Champion made another splash this week at NXT: Homecoming, where he shared the screen with Bobby Roode, Charlie Dempsey, and Wren Sinclair. Hendry’s knack for stealing the spotlight has quickly turned him into the face of the ongoing WWE–TNA working relationship.

Since showing up at multiple WWE events, including WrestleMania 41, Hendry has become a fan favorite crossover attraction. But according to a new report from Jon Alba, the crossover may not be temporary—Hendry is expected to transition into a full-time WWE role by early 2026.

For now, Hendry technically remains under contract with TNA. TNA President Carlos Silva recently confirmed that, but the numbers tell a different story. Out of Hendry’s last eight matches, only one has been inside a TNA ring, while the rest of his focus has clearly shifted toward WWE programming.

WWE and TNA are reportedly coordinating his appearances closely as part of their partnership, but all signs point to Hendry becoming an exclusive WWE Superstar in the near future.

Hendry has long been praised for his charisma, unique presentation, and ability to connect with crowds—qualities that WWE has been eager to spotlight in NXT. If this move happens as expected, Hendry could be the first big crossover success story of the WWE–TNA partnership.

TNA Invasion Of WWE NXT Reportedly In The Works

The lines between WWE NXT and TNA Wrestling continue to blur, and things may be about to explode.

On this week’s special NXT: Homecoming episode, several TNA stars took to social media during the broadcast, voicing frustration over how the company was being portrayed. Their reactions didn’t go unnoticed — commentary duo Vic Joseph and Booker T even referenced the posts throughout the night, fanning the flames of what looks to be a brewing cross-promotional conflict.

That tension is expected to carry over into next week’s show in a big way. In what could be one of the most talked-about matches of the year, NXT Champion Oba Femi is set to clash with TNA Champion Trick Williams in a rare Title vs. Title encounter.

While details of how deep this “invasion” storyline will run are still under wraps, the fact that TNA talent are being worked into WWE programming at this level is already turning heads across the industry. Fans have been clamoring for interpromotional rivalries for years, and this could be the biggest crossover WWE has embraced since its collaborations with ECW in the late ‘90s.

If the momentum continues, we could be on the verge of a full-fledged TNA presence inside NXT — and that opens the door to dream matches, shocking run-ins, and a rivalry unlike anything we’ve seen in recent WWE history.

Santino Marella voiced his frustration, writing,

“This is getting to be too much, honestly, I’m very close to … whatever, I’m just saying it’s getting to be too much.”

Mike Santana posted an emotional response, saying,

“After the week I’ve just had. To be honest, I JUST DGAF! I don’t care who shows up to #TNABoundForGlory as champion…just make sure you’re ready. All my pain becomes purpose. I don’t plan on my daughter leaving the arena heartbroken again… You’re ALL fcked. Also.To keep it real with everyone… I’m pretty sick and tired of all the “WWE/NXT has control over TNA and can do what they want”, bullshit. Think it’s about time we put it to rest and do something about…Santana will challenge for the TNA Title at TNA Bound For Glory.”

Former WWE Superstar Cedric Alexander added, “I came to @ThisIsTNA for new opportunities and to reinvent myself. I refuse to sit around and have @WWENXT talent take those opportunities! It’s time for a change!!”

Mustafa Ali echoed the sentiment, warning, “NXT celebrates its past but disrespects TNA’s future. Many will talk about it. A few will do something about it. Consider this a warning @ShawnMichaels.”

The IInspiration (formerly The IIconics in WWE), Peyton Royce and Jessica McKay, chimed in as well:

“Sick to death of @NXT running roughshod over @TNA like there are no consequences. You’re playing with fire @ShawnMichaels.”

“Wowwww, @WWENXT really thinking they can do whatever they want with @ThisIsTNA… you gotta be joking me!! #NXTHomecoming”

TNA International Champion Steve Maclin (formerly Steve Cutler) issued a direct threat, writing,

“I’m not here for nostalgia. I’m fed up. NXT remembers me. I don’t FORGET. Lines keep getting crossed and now, you’ll answer to me. #HoldTheLine”

Even Moose, who has appeared on NXT before, questioned the legality of the upcoming match. He wrote,

“Title vs Title….. Winner takes all… is that even possible @milanmiracle??? Doesn’t @carlossilva have to approve this decision? This is very frustrating. Will be watching this match very closely. I have unfinished business with both Oba and Trick @WWENXT #NXTHomecoming”

Former AEW Star Allie (The Bunny) Announces Return to Wrestling Training After Two-Year Hiatus

A familiar face from AEW and IMPACT Wrestling is lacing up the boots once again. Allie—known to AEW fans as The Bunny—revealed on social media that she’s officially returned to wrestling training after two years away from the business.

Allie’s last appearance inside the squared circle came on the September 6, 2023 episode of AEW Dynamite, where she teamed with Anna Jay and Taya Valkyrie in trios action against Hikaru Shida, Skye Blue, and Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. Shortly after that match, Allie stepped away from AEW and professional wrestling entirely.

In a heartfelt video posted to Instagram, Allie opened up about her time away, admitting she had completely disconnected from the industry:

“Not only did I not have a match but I hadn’t trained, I hadn’t bumped, I hadn’t been in wrestling at all for quite a long time. Maybe the last couple months, I started feeling like I really missed it in a way that I honestly didn’t expect.”

During her time in AEW, Allie carved out a niche as one of the company’s most versatile women’s performers, transitioning from her darker “Bunny” persona to more traditional roles depending on the story. Prior to that, she enjoyed a successful stint in IMPACT Wrestling, where she captured the Knockouts Championship and became a cornerstone of the women’s division.

While there’s no word yet on whether this return to training will lead to an in-ring comeback with a major promotion, it’s clear Allie’s passion for wrestling has been reignited. With her veteran presence and proven track record, fans will be watching closely to see if “The Bunny” hops back into the spotlight.

WWE (NXT) Heatwave 8/24/2025 (Results), Speed Titles Coming to NXT

New Champions Crowned, Title Matches Set, and Oba Femi Survives a War

NXT Heatwave 2025 delivered a night of surprises, hard-hitting action, and championship shakeups. From the women’s division to the tag team ranks, the card kept fans in Lowell, Massachusetts on their feet all evening. Here’s how it all went down:

Lola Vice Earns NXT Women’s Title Shot

The show opened with a fast-paced triple threat as Jaida Parker, Kelani Jordan, and Lola Vice battled for the No. 1 contender spot.

Parker started hot, overwhelming both opponents until Jordan and Vice briefly joined forces to cut her down. Alliances quickly broke apart as all three women traded momentum in and out of the ring, including Jordan hitting a wild corkscrew splash to the floor and Parker nearly sealing the win with a spinebuster.

The finish came after a chaotic closing stretch that included a “tower of doom” and multiple near falls. Parker connected with her Hipnotic on Jordan, but Vice was waiting with a quick roll-up to steal the pin and the victory.

👉 Winner: Lola Vice (becomes No. 1 contender to the NXT Women’s Championship)

DarkState Captures the NXT Tag Team Titles

The dominant reign of Hank & Tank came to a shocking end thanks to the chaos of DarkState. Dion Lennox and Osiris Griffin did the heavy lifting, but interference from Cutler James and Saquon Shugars proved to be the difference.

Despite the champions’ spirited comeback — including Tank hitting a Swanton Bomb on both challengers — the numbers game was too much. DarkState capitalized on a distracted referee and put Hank away with a devastating Doomsday Device.

👉 Winners and NEW NXT Tag Team Champions: DarkState

Ash by Elegance Becomes TNA Knockouts World Champion

With TNA President Carlos Silva watching from ringside, the Knockouts World Championship returned in a high-stakes triple threat between Jacy Jayne, Masha Slamovich, and Ash by Elegance.

The match was filled with interference and close calls, as Jayne had Fatal Influence in her corner and Ash leaned on her Elegance Brand entourage. Despite heavy strikes from Masha and big dives from both challengers, the end came when Jayne’s allies were ejected from ringside. That left the door open for Ash, who capitalized by pinning Slamovich after hitting her Swanton Bomb.

👉 Winner and NEW TNA Knockouts World Champion: Ash by Elegance

Blake Monroe Stuns Jordynne Grace

Former friends turned bitter rivals clashed as Jordynne Grace battled Blake Monroe in a physical showdown. Grace controlled much of the match with her signature power moves, but Monroe zeroed in on her arm and used every dirty trick possible, including exposing a turnbuckle.

After surviving a top-rope powerbomb, Monroe turned the tide by sending Grace face-first into the exposed steel before drilling her with a Double Arm DDT for the upset win.

👉 Winner: Blake Monroe

Chelsea Green & Ethan Page Score Mixed Tag Win

Lowell fans were firmly behind Chelsea Green, loudly chanting her name throughout her mixed tag with Ethan Page against Tavion Heights and Tyra Mae Steele.

The match broke down into chaos with Alba Fyre and the Elegance Brand getting involved, but Green had the final word. After a flurry of suplexes and a near victory for Steele, Green hit the Un-Pretty-Her to secure the win for her team.

👉 Winners: Chelsea Green & Ethan Page

Big Announcement: Speed Titles Coming to NXT

General Manager Ava revealed that both Men’s and Women’s Speed Championships are officially coming to NXT. Sol Ruca will defend her Women’s Speed Title at No Mercy against the winner of a new tournament.

Oba Femi Survives Je’Von Evans in Championship Epic

The main event saw Oba Femi defend the NXT Championship against Je’Von Evans in a match that had the crowd split and chanting “This is Awesome” before it was over.

Evans used his speed and high-flying arsenal to keep the champion off balance, but Oba’s size and strength proved overwhelming. A referee bump added controversy when Evans appeared to have the match won after hitting multiple cutters, but the original official waved it off after spotting Oba’s foot under the rope.

The end came in brutal fashion: Oba launched Evans through the announce table before finishing him with the Fall From Grace inside the ring.

👉 Winner and STILL NXT Champion: Oba Femi

After the bell, Ricky Saints confronted the champion, setting the stage for a new rivalry as Heatwave went off the air.

🔥 Takeaway: NXT Heatwave shook up the landscape with Lola Vice earning her first shot at the women’s crown, DarkState rising as tag team champs, and Ash by Elegance bringing the TNA Knockouts World Championship back to TNA. Meanwhile, Oba Femi proved once again why he is the most dominant force in NXT, though Ricky Saints is waiting in the wings.
