Over the weekend, SEScoops.com reported that Tessa Blanchard and Daga, who got married in August 2020 and live together in Mexico, have been in negotiations with AEW. The news was picked up by other outlets like What Culture, and soon the pair signing with AEW become a hot topic of conversation. However, it has now been confirmed by multiple reliable sources that nobody in AEW’s management has spoken to either Blanchard or Daga, and at present, there is no interest in bringing her in
Blanchard is a controversial figure in pro wrestling for multiple reasons, but the most troubling one is the allegation of racism made against her, with it claimed she used a racial slur and spat in the face of Puerto Rican wrestler Black Rose. It should be noted that Blanchard has consistently denied this accusation. Additionally, she soured her relationship with Impact Wrestling after refusing to cooperate with them while their main champion. She would then demand the promotion paid her $150,000 to return the physical belt when she was released. Her request was sensibly rebuffed by Impact as belts used on television typically cost between $10,000 – $25,000.
While Blanchard is an incredibly talented performer, any company which signs her will undoubtedly face backlash from fans. Given that, WWE would likely be her best option as they’ve proven in the past they are willing to overlook allegations and criticism if talents can make them money. The 25-year-old has previously appeared on NXT in 2016 and participated in the Mae Young Classic in 2017. Still, at the time, no contract offer was made.
