Masha Slamovich has risen as a prominent figure in wrestling, known for her hard-hitting style in TNA and recent appearances on WWE NXT. While her in-ring career continues to gain momentum, serious allegations from her ex-partner, independent wrestler AKIRA, have surfaced. A social media post (via Ringside News) containing claims and images has pushed off-screen controversy into the spotlight.
The allegations became public when AKIRA’s manager posted screenshots of alleged text conversations alongside photos appearing to show injuries, including facial bruises, damaged lips, and marks on his hands.
In one exchange, AKIRA writes: “You hit me. You’re wrong.” A reply attributed to Slamovich’s number reads: “You cursed at me — that’s why you got hit. Again, cool to see you claim intelligence and can’t see metaphor.”
These developments come at a critical point in Slamovich’s TNA career. After a run that saw her capture the Knockouts World Championship from Jordynne Grace at Bound for Glory 2024, she lost the title to Jacy Jayne at Slammiversary earlier this year. She is currently scheduled to challenge Ash by Elegance for the same championship this Friday, September 26, 2025, at Victory Road.
The released text logs depict a volatile argument. One message attributed to Slamovich reads: “I’ve been worked up, overwhelmed, overstimulated all day, upset about a bad match, and feeling inconsiderate, but whatever. You still managed to make it worse and make me lose it when I was trying to keep it together until I went to sleep. You’re supposed to be the one helping me, and all you do lately is make things worse, Alex.”
Another message from AKIRA references concern over property: “I just didn’t want you to break the glasses you paid a lot of money for and need every day, Ann. I’m tired of this. This isn’t what I signed up for. This isn’t what we used to be, and it’s not going to go back to how it was. It’s not going to get better — only worse.”
A follow-up message attributed to Slamovich states: “I clearly tried not to take it out on you, but you kept pushing… If you had broken those glasses, you’d be more upset later and have to spend more money. And guess what — I already threw them away. I’m tired of this. I’m done arguing in circles.”
AKIRA’s manager added a statement with the post: “Explain why is it okay to celebrate a woman who done this to her ex and have her in the top 25.”
As of this report, Masha Slamovich has not publicly responded.
