• Impact Wrestling Terminates Tessa Blanchard’s Contract
PWInsider has confirmed that Impact Wrestling has stripped Tessa Blanchard of the Impact World Championship and terminated her contract.
Below is the statement that was issued:
“Impact Wrestling confirmed that it has terminated its relationship with Tessa Blanchard and stripped her of the Impact Wrestling World Championship.”
Tessa was scheduled to defend the Impact World Title at Slammiversary on July 18, and was told to send a promos from Mexico for a June episode of Impact (as she’s stuck in Mexico), but she didn’t.
There were several attempts made to have her come back and drop the Title, but neither side could come to terms.
Tessa became the 1st ever woman to hold the Impact World Championship, when she defeated Sami Callihan at “Hard To Kill” PPV in January to win the Title.
