Tessa Blanchard still has gas left in the tank.
Tessa Blanchard is returning to wrestling in a more regular capacity, signing a multi-show deal with XPW and taking various independent bookings.
Speaking to Mike McGuire on McGuire on Wrestling, Tessa commented on increasing her wrestling activity.
"First of all, I can't even express how thankful I am. The fans have been so accepting. Even today, the fans are chanting 'Tessa, Tessa.' That always feels great, especially being away for so long. I always want a lot more. I feel I have unfinished business in wrestling. I'm 27 years old and I do feel confident that I'm one of the best there is and I can go with the best. I won't stop pushing for that, but I have other things going on too. I think it's important to have that balance of knowing who you are outside of the business because the business isn't always going to be there for you and it's very unforgiving. It will recycle people left and right. I know who Tessa is without wrestling, which makes me more dangerous when I go back to wrestling," she said.
Tessa is set to begin her multi-show deal with XPW on May 27.
Blanchard, a former IMPACT World Champion, said she took time off coming out of the pandemic to focus on school.
She recently made amends with La Rosa Negra, who she was accused of bullying and using a racial slur towards.
