After staying out of action from the mainstay professional wrestling for over four years, Tessa Blanchard found her way back to the scene, last night. Long rumored for insertion into the WWE or All Elite Wrestling picture, she eventually landed back on her home turf of TNA Wrestling during the promotion’s latest special event and proved the recent speculations to be true.
Tessa Blanchard appeared during Jordynne Grace’s match with Rosemary on Friday’s Final Resolution streaming special. Appeared under the hood, the former TNA World Champion and Knockouts Champion attacked Grace to allow her to pick up a DQ-win. Moving on, she eventually revealed herself to the crowd and in turn, renewed a feud with Grace.
Tessa Blanchard has been in Mexico since the fall of 2023, working mostly with CMLL but then she confirmed her leave on Friday and the Women’s Tag Team titles that she was holding, were vacated. On TNA Final Resolution, she also briefly chatted with Gia Miller about her return before pie-facing the backstage interviewer.
