TNA Knockouts World Champion Masha Slamovich’s presence during the January 14 episode of NXT caught attention when cameras spotted her in the front row. Her appearance gained notice particularly after Cora Jade acknowledged her following a victory over Kelani Jordan.

WWE shared this moment on social media, highlighting the champion’s attendance:

What a surprise! TNA Knockouts Champion @mashaslamovich is keeping a close eye on the NXT Women’s Division!

The visit comes amid an established partnership between both wrestling promotions.

Joe Hendry also participated in the crossover, pursuing the NXT Championship against Ethan Page at No Mercy.
