Tessa Blanchard segment announced for TNA Impact

Tessa Blanchard will be on TNA Impact this week. 

TNA has announced that Blanchard “has promised to make her presence felt” on Thursday’s show. 

Last month, our own Dave Meltzer reported that Blanchard was expected to return to the promotion for the first time in four years.

“The belief is Tessa Blanchard has signed here which explains her not being in CMLL the last few weeks,” Meltzer wrote.”The belief is that she’ll debut in Atlanta, do a quick program with Jordynne Grace, with Grace then leaving for WWE when her current contract expires. At least that’s the talking point going around. But I was told Blanchard having signed is confirmed.”

Blanchard attacked Grace at Final Resolution in Atlanta and participated in the TV tapings held the following day. 

TNA Impact on January 2, 2025, will feature matches segments taped last month at Center Stage in Atlanta. Spoilers from the shows are available here. This week’s episode will also mark TNA’s debut on Sportsnet in Canada.
