Tessa Blanchard told CMLL Informa that she was given an
ultimatum by TNA Wrestling to either chose them or CMLL
moving forward and that was the reason she ultimately
decided to leave TNA.
Blanchard said that in Mexico she has a life and is very
happy to be living there.
“I took my time to think it over with my dad, whom I trust
very much,” Blanchard said. “My life is here. I’m not just
another foreigner, I’m the most Mexican Gringa.”
The often controversial star is regularly booked with CMLL
and is a major part of the company’s women division. She
only wrestled 9 times for TNA since the beginning of 2026
whereas in CMLL, she is booked regularly for shows.
Blanchard added that she won everything over in TNA, but she
has more dreams and goals to pursue in CMLL.
“I needed to focus my career and my life here in Mexico, and
from this moment on, I’m 100% with CMLL,” she continued.
She is the only female to ever hold the TNA World title and
also the TNA Knockouts title.
