Johnny Damon’s Daughter Gave A TNA Wrestler The Finger After Shove From Dad
Recently, MLB All-Star Johnny Damon played in the TNA SLAMMing Softball Classic on Saturday, July 19, 2025, and then sat ringside with his family for the Slammiversary event to celebrate TNA’s 23rd anniversary.
However, things got heated as Johnny got into a face-to-face confrontation with Ryan Nemeth, who was competing in a tag team match with his brother, Nic.
Suddenly, Damon shoved Nemeth after the two exchanged words, which was a part of the show.

Wrestler Nemeth tried to go back at Damon before his brother jumped in to grab him from getting to the ex-Red Sox player, Johnny.
Damon continued to yell at the wrestlers as they returned to the ring, and next to him, his daughter was also seen shouting at them, quickly showing a middle finger to Nemeth and his brother before the camera cut back to the action inside the ring.
It wasn’t clear that Johnny’s daughter was aware it was all part of the showmanship of professional wrestling, but it made for a hilarious moment nonetheless.
TNA executives are finalizing Damon’s additional involvement at Slammiversary, as he is a longtime pro wrestling fan who appeared at and participated in past pro wrestling shows.
