Tessa Blanchard made her unexpected return during TNAs Final Resolution pay-per-view and took out Jordynne Grace, making it clear she is going after a big name. Many people werent happy about her return and now Blanchard claimed that Grace wouldnt have become the star that she is, had Blanchard not left TNA.
While speaking to The Battleground podcast, Tessa Blanchard explained her decision to return to TNA Wrestling, saying that her current life and future goals played a big role. She has been living in Mexico City and working with CMLL for the past year while also focusing on her education, as she recently returned to college. Having previously spent three years in the ROTC, she reflected on her goals and decided that coming back to the United States to chase her dreams made sense.
Another major motivation for her return was watching Jordynne Graces success in TNA. Blanchard believes that if she had stayed with the company, Grace might not have reached the level of success she has today or become as big of a name. Returning to TNA and making a statement, with Grace being a big part of that statement, was a significant factor in her decision.
Tessa Blanchard will be squaring off against Jordynne Grace at TNA Genesis on January 19th, so well have to wait and see if Blanchard will be able to beat Grace in her first TNA match since 2020, as fans feel Blanchard shouldnt win this bout at all.
