PWInsider.com is reporting that a previously terminated talent is returning to TNA.
Word is that Tessa Blanchard will take part in TNA’s Final Resolution event tonight and their tapings over the weekend in an angle possibly with Jordynne Grace.
CMLL announced today that Blanchard has left the promotion and the CMLL Women’s Tag Team Championships she currently held with Lluvia have now been vacated.
Blanchard’s contract was terminated in 202o during the COVID-19 pandemic when Blanchard and TNA couldn’t resolving a work, production dispute when ended up with Blanchard being stripped of the Impact World Championship.
Blanchard has been a point of controversy with several female talents in the past publicly accusing her of behaviour ranging from how she treated others backstage to wrestler La Rosa Negra claiming Blanchard used racist language when referring to her. The two seemingly met up and worked things out last year.
We are human and our responsibility in this world is to do better and/or be a better person to those around us.

In August of this year, Blanchard was interviewed by Straight Talk Wrestling and detailed her personal and emotional struggles with her career.
“When everything happened to me, it was even a tough topic to even talk about. I remember I was living in Tijuana at the time and I remember some days I would wake up, I didn’t even have the strength to live that day so I would just go back to bed and I would be in my bed all day long. There were days where I was tired about life just because my identity was wrestling. I didn’t know who I was without it and in a matter of less than 24 hours it was like from here to (nothing). From contract offers from the biggest companies, more money than I’d ever seen in my life to nothing,” she said.
“My family, my little brother and sister were 14 years old at the time, were reading all these things about me that I knew wasn’t me, I knew wasn’t in my heart. I wasn’t this person but it didn’t matter. Perception is reality. The truth doesn’t matter,” she continued.
Other talent chimed in at the time:
“You’ve consistently put down, bullied, and belittled countless female coworkers, including me. Is that support?” Chelsea Green posted.
“As someone who experienced your bullying firsthand, received regular verbal abuse, was spat on, had rumours spread about me, dealt with multiple attempts by you to blacklist me from other companies, (plus more), I just pray you now follow your own advice,” wrote Isla Dawn.
Blanchard is the daughter of wrestling legend Tully Blanchard.
