Masha Slamovich Set for Squared Circle Expo VI Event This March, Squared Circle Expo Issues Statement Over Their Reason For Slamovich Booking [Update: Squared Circle Expo Cancels Slamovich Booking]

Update:

Squared Circle Expo provided an update earlier today on Facebook announcing that they have pulled Slamovich from their upcoming event.

“Alright guys and girls, it’s your favorite Squared Circle Expo Promoter (no matter what Adolfo says) and well….

First of all, I want to be transparent and say that I was who personally approved the appearance of Masha Slamovich to appear at Squared Circle Expo VI. I communicated with the vendor, and even discussed my concerns with them. After a ton of deliberation, it was decided that we would give Masha a chance to appear. It was not taken lightly or without hefty consideration.

I know we say all the time that we’re just a couple of dudes that love professional wrestling and want to share it with as many people as possible! That said, this situation has taught us that we’re also just a couple of dudes who are capable of getting it wrong…and boy did we ever.

After speaking to friends in the industry who know a bit more about the details of Masha’s situation, as well as carefully considering the feedback from fans and others in our business whose opinion we value, we have decided to pull Masha Slamovich’s appearance from the SCX VI. The vendor who was bringing her in for the appearance is also in agreement and fully supports the move as well.

While we still absolutely believe that many people will often deserve a second chance and the opportunity for redemption, the timing for this was ill thought out and regretable. We truly hope and wish for Masha to continue to better herself and hope that learning from past mistakes will allow for growth and a better future.

We greatly apologize to our supporters for making the wrong call with this one but greatly appreciate your feedback in steering us in a better direction.

Thank you all for taking the time to voice your concerns – we want you to understand that we hear you. Without you there is no us, and we are all insanely thankful for that! We are also insanely thankful for the opportunity to learn through your feedback so that we can make better decisions moving forward.

Now, can we get back to the awesomeness that is Squared Circle Expo VI?!?!?!

(Maybe more guest announcements incoming?)

Slamovich departed from TNA this past December due to her contract had expired following an internal investigation by TNA into the allegations. Slamovich wrestled in her first match since the allegations against her for an indie event for Circle 6 this past January.

Squared Circle Expo announced that Slamovich will be making an appearance for the company at their upcoming Squared Circle Expo IV event on March 27-28 in Indianapolis, Indiana.

The company also issued an official statement regarding potential backlash against them and the reason for their decision to book Slamovich for their upcoming event. The company also stated that they will delete any negative comments left on their Facebook page over issues with Slamovich’s booking.

“It is with great pleasure that we announce the addition of Wrestling Star, MASHA SLAMOVICH, to the superstar roster for Squared Circle Expo VI, happening March 27-28, 2026 @ the Wyndham Indianapolis West!

Yes we are fully aware of Masha’s scenario and past. That being said, she has sincerely apologized, and she was even punished by her employer for her actions, she is also doing things to right her wrongs. We are all human, and we all make mistakes, and not only that, we do believe in second chances, and one scenario does not tell the story of a whole life. If you have a negative thought or urge to comment negatively, we do remind you that we will delete it, and that there is nearly 100 other superstars at this event, and that while you may harbor certain feelings there are others that do not, and want to meet Masha. Please proceed respectfully, or just scroll on past till the next announcement. -Ed”
