TNA Knockouts World Champion Masha Slamovich will begin appearing on WWE NXT programming, according to a report from PWInsider. The move is part of the ongoing talent crossover between the two promotions and will build to a historic match at TNA’s upcoming Slammiversary pay-per-view.
A Growing Partnership
The crossover between TNA and WWE continues to be a major storyline in professional wrestling. This follows recent instances of collaboration, including NXT’s Trick Williams winning and defending the TNA World Championship, and former TNA Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace appearing on WWE TV before officially signing with the company.
According to the report, Slamovich’s appearances will begin soon, with a scheduled appearance at this Saturday’s NXT Great American Bash premium live event. Her presence on NXT television is designed to promote her high-stakes match at Slammiversary.
Building to a Title vs. Title Match
At TNA’s Slammiversary event on Sunday, July 20, Masha Slamovich will defend her TNA Knockouts World Championship in a Title vs. Title match. Her opponent will be the person who wins the NXT Women’s Championship match between the current champion, Jacy Jayne, and the newly signed Jordynne Grace at WWE Evolution this weekend.
The match at Slammiversary presents a unique and intriguing possibility. If Jordynne Grace wins the NXT Women’s Championship at Evolution, she will walk into the TNA pay-per-view as a WWE-contracted superstar challenging for the TNA Knockouts World Title while simultaneously holding the NXT Women’s Title. This sets up a complex and unprecedented situation, putting the future of both championships in question.
