Tessa Blanchard says never say never.
Tessa Blanchard previously won the TNA World Championship by defeating Sami Callihan at Hard To Kill 2020. She then left the company, as they had a fallout during her title reign. Blanchard later took some time away from wrestling. Blanchard returned to TNA at TNA Final Resolution 2024. She is set to face Jordynne Grace at TNA Genesis on January 19.
Speaking with Jim Varsallone of the Miami Herald, Tessa Blanchard was asked whether she wanted to get back into intergender wrestling following her return to TNA.
“I’m very blessed for all of the very history-making moments I’ve gotten to be a part of. It’s not just me, it’s the other person in the ring. Sami [Callihan] and I did that together, and I’m very grateful for Sami, for everything that he did for me over the course of that program. He’s phenomenal at what he does. There’s so many guys like that, that I feel very blessed to have been a participant in that locker room. It was great to be a part of that locker room and learn from so many of them. It’s important to know how blessed I am to have gotten to work with so many of those people, and to be back and have the hopes to work with them again, it’s just incredible to me. It’s something that no one saw coming, not even myself. As far as chasing after intergender wrestling again, I’m not gonna say never. Never say never, right? But right now, my focus is the Knockouts locker room, and my focus is this Sunday with Jordynne Grace," Blanchard said.
