Squared Circle Expo posted the following about booking Slamovich:
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!*** DISCLAIMER ***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 there are 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
