It seems likely that Masha Slamovich could become the next TNA talent appearing inside the NXT ring.
Slamovich, the current TNA Knockouts Women’s World Champion, was seen in the front row of Tuesday night’s NXT as Cora Jade defeated Kelani Jordan in singles action.
Later that night, Slamovich met backstage with NXT’s Shawn Michaels, who seemingly gave the champ an open invitation to appear on the show in the future.

“See anything you liked out there?” Michaels said in a backstage segment recorded for social media.
“I said that I was going to bring the title around the world and find the best people to defend it, and so far I like what I see,” Slamovich replied.
“Alright, well, just know we’re only a phone call away, right?” Michaels said.
TNA talent appearing in NXT has become a common occurrence over the past year, with the most notable example of a crossover name being Joe Hendry, who rode a wave of internet virality into the WWE Performance Center.
Slamovich has helped TNA’s main women’s title since October when she dethroned Jordynne Grace at Bound For Glory. She will look to keep her reign alive this weekend at TNA Genesis when she meets Rosemary in a Clockwork Orange House of Fun match.
Many in the TNA women’s division, including past Slamovich opponent Grace and current rival Rosemary, have already appeared in the NXT ring recently. Soon, we’ll see if Slamovich is the next to do so.
