Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer is reporting that
Tessa Blanchard has signed again with TNA Wrestling and is
expected to show up on TV imminently.
Blanchard was fired from TNA back in June 2020 while she
held the company’s top title.
“IMPACT Wrestling has confirmed that it has terminated its
relationship with Tessa Blanchard and stripped her of the
IMPACT Wrestling World Championship,” a statement read at
the time.
She won the title in January 2020 at the Hard To Kill pay-
per-view but then vanished in March after the coronavirus
pandemic hit, refusing to attend any television tapings.
She refused to send any taped promos for the TV shows and
also refused to drop the title, leading management to fire
her. She is the only female to ever hold the company’s world
title, generally reserved for just the men.
Blanchard was one half of the CMLL Women’s Tag Team
champions and today CMLL issued a statement saying that the
titles have been vacated “following the departure of Tessa
Blanchard from the company.”
Blanchard has a mixed past and was exposed by her peers for
constant bullying against fellow female wrestlers throughout
the years.
