Tessa Blanchard and husband Daga are in talks to sign with All Elite Wrestling (AEW). The negotiations have been ongoing for over a month. One source close to the situation tells us that it's "all but a formality" until they are signed.
Blanchard is a former Impact World Champion. She is widely considered one of the most talented female competitors on the open market.
She's weathered her share of controversies, including claims that she is difficult to work with and allegations of racism, which she adamantly denied. AEW officials have discussed the idea of acknowledging Tessa Blanchard's prior 'issues' on television and presenting her with a redemption storyline of sorts.

Blanchard's father, the legendary Tully Blanchard, is currently part of AEW as a member of MJF's faction, The Pinnacle.
Daga has been wrestling for Mexico's Lucha Libre AAA promotion. He was the AAA Latin American Champion up until this past week, when he vacated the belt.
