Tessa fired by Impact. Nyla Rose "in action" at the AEW ppv. Coincidence? Probably. God I hope not

She'll get the WWE call one day, they always eventually give the attitude problem people a shot, hell they gave contracts to Teddy Hart and Low Ki at one point. And Austin Aries. But if they do, she'll for damn sure be on the same short leash that Aries was. Of course, Aries was on his best behavior there and it still didn't really work out... Triple H didn't idolize Aries's dad, though.

Triple H didn't idolize Aries's dad, though. She's also way younger than Aries was, and a "name" woman is more valuable to them, especially if it's up in the air if Becky's coming back when she does have her kid, than a cruiserweight ever was. I don't think WWE signs Tessa without any hesitation at all, but I definitely don't think it's an impossibility. Hell, may not even be a longshot.

Her father who was a wrestler named Tully Blanchard who wrestled as Tully Blanchard is currently a non-wrestler for AEW where he could wrestle but he can't. So it's possible her wrestler father who is a non-wrestler could probably see if she could wrestle for the wrestling company where he currently doesn't wrestle. Her grandfather who wrestled doesn't have these kinds of connections to wrestling currently because he is dead.

Who got the Feast briefcase? Strangely, Daivari somehow. He hasn’t worked there in years but there you go.

The thing with Tessa is that she's very talented but she's not so talented that she'd outshine any of the women WWE already has under contract who aren't giant pains in the ass. I mean her last name may be Blanchard but it's not like that automatically gets you over with kids who don't even know what a Jim Crockett Promotions is. Coming in acting like you're 1997 Shawn Michaels before you've even had a match in front of anybody is a deal breaker for most people and if she ever wants a career in wrestling she needs to grow the f*** up.

No, I mean, a name in her own right. Yeah, a lot of that is infamy, but she also was one of the top paid people in Impact before they even made her champion because she came in with some actual name recognition on her own work. The Tully/Horseman stuff isn't irrelevant to that or anything, obviously, and they'd milk it, but she would be inarguably the woman coming in with the most pre-WWE name recognition since Nattie, maybe, who had been something of an indie darling, outside of Asuka maybe, and not counting Ronda, obviously, who was a crossover to wrestling and not really applicable. No, I don't think she's anywhere near a household name, but she still is something of a star in wrestling. Just, definitely not always for the right reasons.

Apparently, having the Blanchard name means you gotta be a horse's ass early in your career.

I'd kinda be shocked if WWE gave her another look. Word had it her attitude issues really soured WWE on even offering her a developmental contract a couple years back. But then again this is WWE, so who knows. They still have to be salivating at the thought of a Charlotte/Tessa program. I still think she will be in WWE at some point. Not now, of course..... but eventually. If she grows as a person, sure, maybe some day but when there are multiple stories of places having issues with her, I don't think they're going to change their mind on her.

As I said earlier, she will go to WWE at some point, they all always do Just a matter of how long she last

Due have to wonder if Tessa tried to do a power play for more money or maybe pull a Killer Kross

Tessa is very easy to build for an audience to give her credibility quickly. Just show footage of Tully and mention he was a Horsemen some talking heads of Legends talking about her pedigree and she's got instant cred with the casual audience.

Yeah, you could do that, sure, but also probably just shoot a sizzle real of her doing a bunch of moves. I don't even like Tessa, but she's not a hard person to sell crowds on, she can definitely do impressive things and has some presence, even if she's an absolute turd of a person sometimes.

This is not exactly defending Impact ,more about blasting Tessa.
But man Impact believed her hard, they pushed her for the WORLD title,not the woman's title.
If I was on her shoes I would be so grateful for giving a shot at breaking a barrier.

Tessa is highly talented In terms of raw talent in the U.S. the only comparable is Charlotte and you can almost form an argument she's better then Charlotte who I think is the best overall woman in the U.S. scene In terms of ability it isn't hard to sell Tessa. Just you can't put her anywhere prominent as it could bite you in the ass knowing she don't act right

It can amaze me how people can be so ungrateful, she's one of the only two women I know of that has won a world championship in a traditionally male main event scene, and she pissed that away.

Imagine what Tessa would be like if she had the mentality & attitude similar to Trish Stratus

Just you can't put her anywhere prominent as it could bite you in the ass knowing she don't act right She may very well end up better than charlotte but she's nearly ten years younger than charlotte who as far as I know has been a model employee for WWE. The only thing stopping Tessa from being a mega star is herself. As you say she is highly talented which to me is the most annoying thing as she has all the ability you'd want but her attitude from what we see leaves a hell of lot of be desired.
