Johnny Damon’s daughter defended her father at TNA Slammiversary, mistaking a wrestling angle for a genuine threat. The baseball legend was ringside at UBS Arena in Long Island when wrestler Ryan Nemeth got too close. Damon shoved Nemeth, who was in a tag-team match with his brother, Nic. The interaction was part of the show, but Damon’s daughter reacted strongly.
Baseball legend’s daughter’s fiery ringside reaction
Damon’s daughter was visibly upset and gestured at Nemeth during the TNA event.
As the wrestlers, including Nemeth, returned to the ring, Damon’s daughter could be seen yelling and giving Nemeth the middle finger. It was unclear if she understood the theatrical nature of professional wrestling, but her defense of her dad provided a memorable, albeit unintended, moment for the audience.
Damon’s busy weekend included softball
Damon’s appearance at Slammiversary capped a busy weekend for the former MLB star. He also participated in the TNA SLAMMing Softball Classic on Saturday, also held on Long Island. This involvement aligns with a recent agreement where Damon’s company, A-GAME Beverages, became the official hydration partner of TNA wrestling.
TNA executives noted Damon’s long-standing enthusiasm for professional wrestling. A press release last week stated that TNA was finalizing his additional involvement, acknowledging his history of participating in wrestling events. Damon’s connection to the sport appears to be both a personal passion and a strategic partnership for his business ventures.
