Tessa Blanchard made her Impact Wrestling debut at Redemption, serving as a guest commentator for the Kiera Hogan/Taya Valkyrie match. This independent and Mae Young classic standout has yet to have a debut match with the company, but the fans are surely excited to see Blanchard wrestle against the likes of Allie, Rosemary, or Taya Valkyrie.
The new Impact Wrestling Knockout Tessa Blanchard recently spoke with ImpactWrestling.com and below are some interview highlights.
On why she signed with Impact:
“I came to the Knockouts Division because it’s no secret that the past six months or so IMPACT’s been making strides. The hottest free agents out there – Pentagon, Fenix, Brian Cage – IMPACT has locked them down. When it comes to the Knockouts Division, I’m the hottest free agent out there right now!”
Why she deserves an immediate title shot:
“I’m not looking to work my way up. I feel like I deserve a shot at the Knockouts Championship. On the independent circuit I’ve traveled the world, I’ve won championships, I’ve won tournaments – I’ve defeated some of the best out there so I feel like I am one of the best.”
Carrying on the Blanchard name:
“Carrying on the Blanchard name is a huge honor for me because my grandfather, my father and my step-father – they’ve all put a lot into their legacy and for me to carry that on, it’s a lot of weight on my shoulders. I put pressure on myself to be the best and to carry on the Blanchard name with dignity and with pride.”
