I don't think Tessa is impossible, with or without Daga. Yes, she has a lot of people with bad blood with her, obviously, but she has some people who really wanted her. Cody did, pre... uhh, everything, and that makes sense given, I think Magnum TA is his godfather or something, I remember some connection along those lines. Tully is obvious, and while I don't think Big Swole and Tessa are buddies, exactly, they did train with George South and Swole had tried to get Tessa to make amends for the Black Rose incident and play mediator, but Tessa didn't follow through. People forgive and forget a lot of shit in wrestling, I get it, though honestly, Tessa in WWE probably would seem like more of a natural fit since you'd figure the Charlotte match has money written all over it, or Becky if/when she returns. In either case, she gets her act together or she f***s it all up, and they can her. Not to "suffering Olympics" this, but it'd concern me a whole lot less than a Marty or something. Hopefully AEW, if they sign her, keeps her on a tight leash at least. Tony has at least shown the willingness to get rid of troublesome wrestlers.

Mel also appears to be gone from the company, given she's now doing the occasional show in Milwaukee. But I think that's a net positive for AEW. Mel does backstage stuff with AEW I am pretty sure, she was one of those types.

I would accept Tessa if she behaves and actually works well with the roster. It seems like a friendly and fun backstage so it would take a real asshole (I.e Ivelisse) to screw it up. Because, like in sports, winning cures all, right or wrong. If she performs and has great matches, and proves to be a team player, then that’s all I really care about. But if she starts being Tessa and being horrible and saying horrible things again, then just let her go.
Heck you might even not sign her anyway. I don’t think I wound have the guts to do it and risk hurting morale. But that’s why I’m. It running a wrestling company.

LOL anyone wants to place bets on how long Tessa lasts? I think she might be given a larger leash due to Tully and her being a bigger star than Ivellisse but I dont see this lasting long if its true

I think she might be given a larger leash due to Tully and her being a bigger star than Ivellisse but I dont see this lasting long if its true It's honestly hard to say. I have no idea if she has pulled her big leaguing shit since she really hit it big, but if AEW roll the dice on her, she will hopefully see that Jimmy Havoc, Ivelisse, and such show they will fire people if they don't do what they're told. I do wonder if it'd big a limiting factor that, if I recall, Turner was part of the reason Khan has been uneasy with doing intergender wrestling, so if Tessa feels "above" the women, she'd be shit out of luck. Granted, don't know if Mattel would be any more keen on it in WWE, but judging by how they supposedly put their foot down and nixed Nia Jax versus Moxley, I have my doubts.

Wait, we’re really taking the word of Konnan?
Hasn’t he been wrong a lot more than he’s been right recently?

He's a guy with a lot of connections, but the day I take a wrestler's word for it who isn't even in the know. Like I am sure he hears tons of gossip, but he's eternally a gamble. He also willingly spends time around Disco Inferno, so take that for what you will.

If she actually were to sign? Idk, surprisingly quite a few people in AEW seem to like her? Which considering some of the shit she did in the past is a surprise but may indicate she is in fact learning from her shit. If not though, well, Ivelisse hit the curb pretty quick.

How could any of us possibly know if Tessa hasn’t made the effort to grow?

How could any of us possibly know if Tessa hasn’t made the effort to grow? I agree in principle that people shouldn't have to acknowledge fault publicly about private matters. We don't know if Tessa resolved all this shit with the people directly involved. But it wasn't like this was just heat over no selling or stiffing somebody. This is somebody who multiple people accused of virulent racist behaviour, who denied any wrongdoing. AEW thusly just looks like they are hiring a racist. Whether you think think is fair to Tessa or not, this would send a message to black talent in the locker room, especially the women's one.

Yeah but... who is this dude and who are the sources opposed to the actual wrestlers who have already said stuff themselves?

Ryo Mizunami will be at Sonoko Kato’s 25th anniversary show at Korakuen in Japan on June 6th so I imagine she’ll be gone for bit surrounding then, although they could tape things.

Abadon beating Ryo was really unexpected, it was her best match in AEW so far, getting in better shape has also helped improve her cardio.

The veteran just seemed like she was going to win, that's what's expected, but they gave it to the young person they're pushing. Maybe this is what Ryo did? Toured. Won a tournament, got a title shot, had some fun matches, made a friend in Leyla Hirsh, put over a young up and comer, goes home with an expanded resume and more fans. Exactly what a tour a touring wrestler of her stature is supposed to look like.
