Tessa Blanchard hasn’t regularly competed since departing Impact Wrestling last year. She left on bad terms after refusing to cooperate with them while their main champion and then tried to get them to pay her $150,000 to return the physical belt when she was released. While that would be enough for many promotions not to want to work with her, she has also been accused of using a racial slur and spitting in the face of a fellow wrestler, which means many won’t even consider booking her under any circumstances.
That said, Fightful Select has now reported that Billy Corgan’s NWA promotion has reached out to her looking to bring her in. The promotion will be holding their first-ever all-women’s pay-per-view later this month, so their interest makes perfect sense. Also, while the card is currently being advertised, Kylie Rae’s opponent has not yet been announced, so that does leave a spot for Blanchard. That, though, is just speculation.
While Blanchard is an incredibly talented performer, if the NWA does use her, they will undoubtedly face backlash from fans. However, Corgan has previously shown not to be concerned by this, having booked both Thom Latimer and the former Brodus Clay, despite serious allegations previously being made against them.
