Following the recent departures of Steve Maclin and Myla Grace from TNA, Fightful Select has reported that Tessa Blanchard has also officially left the promotion. Blanchard apparently requested and received her release, although no specific reason was provided. While her latest run with the company was considered a notable success, what’s next for the controversial third-generation wrestler is far from obvious.
“A former TNA World Champion is leaving the company. Sources close to her claim to Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp that former TNA Champion Tessa Blanchard has left the company. Those sources claimed to Fightful that Blanchard asked for her release from the company and secured it. We did not hear of a reason for the departure. We’re told that her status with CMLL has not changed.” – Fightful Select
Now a free agent after exiting TNA, Blanchard continues to compete actively in Mexico for CMLL. Yet despite her widely respected in-ring abilities, past controversies surrounding bullying and allegations of racism could hinder any potential move to AEW. Furthermore, her close connections with CMLL might affect WWE’s interest, given that WWE owns AAA, which renders her choice to leave TNA somewhat puzzling.
