Tessa Blanchard returns to TNA amidst backlash with crowd chanting ‘she’s a racist’

Tessa Blanchard’s much-anticipated return to TNA was far from smooth, as the crowd made their feelings known. Blanchard appeared at Final Resolution, where she targeted former Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace, claiming she was back to reclaim what was rightfully hers. However, the audience's reaction was intense, with chants of "she's a racist" echoing throughout the arena, making it clear that her return had not been welcomed by all.

After a brief stint with WOW (Women of Wrestling), Blanchard bounced between promotions before returning to TNA late in 2024. While she claims not to be signed to TNA, sources within the company have confirmed that she is indeed a full-time member, with plans for her inclusion in creative. This return has sparked speculation about her future in wrestling, especially considering potential interest from WWE. According to reports, WWE may be keeping an eye on Blanchard's reception in TNA before making any moves, particularly after recent controversies, such as the backlash against Hulk Hogan during WWE's Raw premiere on Netflix.

As Blanchard navigates the challenges of her TNA comeback, it remains to be seen how her past will continue to influence her career moving forward.
