On Tuesday afternoon, reports confirmed that Tessa Blanchard has left TNA after requesting her release from the company. This news surprised many fans, particularly because neither WWE nor AEW has seemed interested in signing her amid past controversies. And now, according to PWInsider.com, the reason for her departure is that her deep-rooted commitment to CMLL in Mexico clashed with TNA’s ties to WWE, which maintains majority ownership in AAA’s parent company. Therefore, unable to balance both promotions, she chose to remain committed to her long-standing career in Mexico.
“PWInsider.com is told that politically, Blanchard could not continue to wrestle for CMLL in Mexico and TNA (obviously, due to TNA’s relationship with WWE, which owns the majority of AAA’s parent company) and chose to remain with CMLL, where she has performed for years.” – PWInsider.com
30-year-old Blanchard’s Mexican adventure began in 2018 with The Crash promotion, where she quickly won the Women’s Championship. From there, she joined CMLL and won over audiences with her explosive, high-flying moves and crisp technical wrestling. In 2023, she captured the Women’s International Grand Prix and began teaming with Lluvia to become the first American to claim the CMLL World Women’s Tag Team Titles. Now living in Mexico City, Blanchard continues to build memorable rivalries and create a historic legacy in one of wrestling’s most passionate and dedicated markets.
