Tessa Blanchard made her return to TNA at TNA Final Resolution, targeting Jordynne Grace. On Thursday's TNA iMPACT!, Tessa continued to go after Grace, attacking the former TNA Knockouts Champion after an eight-Knockouts tag match.
Blanchard left TNA Wrestling in June 2020 when her contract was terminated. Blanchard, who was the reigning TNA World Champion at the time, was reportedly asked to send in promos during the COVID tapings, but didn't do so. TNA reportedly wanted her to come to the tapings and lose the title, but that never happened, leading to the company terminating her contract.
On social media, Grace responded to a fan who noted that she and Blanchard could not be compared since Blanchard held the TNA World Title.
She was here less than two years.

Do not compare me to a flash in the pan. https://t.co/RTRciDDnA9
Yes, she definitely made sure she would be the last woman to ever hold that title. https://t.co/LlJ7rAevcd

Before winning the TNA World Title, Blanchard was accused of bullying and using racist language towards La Rosa Negra. Blanchard initially denied the allegations of using racist language. She posted a photo of herself and Negra smiling together in 2023.
