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:

The visit comes amid an established partnership between both wrestling promotions. This collaboration previously saw Jordynne Grace enter the Women’s Royal Rumble and later challenge for the NXT Women’s Championship at Battleground. Joe Hendry also participated in the crossover, pursuing the NXT Championship against Ethan Page at No Mercy.
While talent exchanges between TNA and NXT have decreased compared to their peak in 2024, Slamovich’s appearance suggests the door remains open for future opportunities between both companies.
