The daughter of The Rock and General Manager of NXT, Ava, has revealed a stunning twist on the forthcoming episode of WWE NXT. She verified that Masha Slamovich, the one time TNA Knockouts World Champion, will come out as the special guest referee at a six woman tag team match with high stake between Fatal influence Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, Jazmyn Nyx and The Elegance Brand Ash By Elegance, Heather By Elegance, M By Elegance. Such a turn of the events not only indicates further collaboration of WWE and TNA, but also preconditions an outrageous dramatic action of emotions and chaos in the ring.
What’s the announcement?
She announced the news as part of a backstage conference call on X, with herself, Masha Slamovich, and TNA Director of Authority, Santino Marella. Slamovich jumped at the role and the announcement was released simultaneously by Ava and Marella. There is a strong personal stake involved in the problem of Slamovich. Dubbed as Russian Dynamite, Masha is still keen to resolve some scores in WWE where the current NXT Women Champion also possesses the title of TNA Knockouts World. Her energy and hot-blooded character should introduce chaotic dynamics to the match with Masha, and perhaps even change the relations in the championship.
