WWE & AEW Reported Have No Interest In Signing 'Nuclear' Tessa Blanchard
Blanchard was released by IMPACT last year
Sep 8, 2021
Neither WWE or All Elite Wrestling reportedly have any interesting in working with or signing Tessa Blanchard.
Rumours circulated in the lead up to AEW All Out 2021 on Sunday that Blanchard could be a surprise entrant in the Women's Casino Battle Royale. A small section of the live crowd in Chicago could be heard chanting 'We want Tessa', to which the rest of the audience responded 'no we don't!'
With Blanchard's name once again in the conversation for being a potential signing for one of wrestling's major promotions, Cassidy Hayes of BodySlam.net is reporting that their are no plans for her to work with AEW or WWE - either on their main roster or in NXT.
The report cites one source, who said: "She’s nuclear. Nobody wants near her."
The report goes on to say that the only major wrestling promotion to hold talks with Blanchard since she left IMPACT Wrestling last year has been the NWA.
Blanchard's contract with IMPACT was ripped up in June 2020 after she opted to take a leave of absence during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Then the reigning IMPACT World Champion, the company stripped her of the Title and terminated her deal just a few days before it was due to expire.
Blanchard was also accused of making racist remarks and bullying behaviour last year, although she has denied the allegations.
