Although Tessa Blanchard is reportedly headed back to TNA wrestling for a feud with Jordynne Grace, it doesn’t mean that Grace is thrilled with the idea.
According to the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that Tessa Blanchard has signed with TNA. Meltzer noted, “The belief is that she’ll debut in Atlanta, do a quick program with Jordynne Grace, with Grace then leaving for WWE when her current contract expires.” TNA holds Final Resolution tonight and TV tapings this Saturday from Atlanta.
During the pandemic, Blanchard was the Impact World Heavyweight Champion, but she experienced a fallout with the promotion. This ultimately led to her being stripped of the title and her subsequent departure from Impact Wrestling.
Following her tenure in TNA, Blanchard went to work for WOW before having a run in CMLL. Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select reports that Grace has pushed back on working with her.
He was also told that there was a lot of talent that got word she was signing with TNA this week. Higher-ups in TNA stated they didn’t know. There have been past accusations made against Blanchard of being a racist and bully.
