It was recently reported that former IMPACT Wrestling Champion Tessa Blanchard was speaking to at least AEW and potentially WWE. These reports have now been refuted by both the Wrestling Observer and Fightful Select.
Dave Meltzer stated on a recent episode of Wrestling Observer Radio that there was ‘nothing to the reports.’ It was recently indicated that AEW were looking at bringing in Tessa, which would be interesting considering that her father Tully Blanchard is already signed to the company.
Fightful Select recently added to the story, saying “talent at the last set of AEW tapings that Fightful spoke to also claimed that AEW said talks with Tessa Blanchard right now were a ‘firm no.'”
Tessa Blanchard To AEW or WWE
Fightful also confirmed that they spoke to WWE regarding the Diamond Mine gimmick that is being hyped in NXT. “WWE sources confirmed to Fightful that it was not intended to imply Blanchard was joining the company” is what the site reported.
This is interesting as Tessa Blanchard has used Diamond imagery in the past, so some have speculated that she was headed to the brand.#
