Matt Hardy On Tessa Blanchard's TNA Return – 'It's A Work In Progress'
12/20/2024 10:10 AM
Tessa Blanchard returned to TNA Wrestling at Final Resolution 2024 last Friday, kicking off a rivalry with Jordynne Grace before the latter departs in early 2025.
Blanchard had a fallout with TNA in 2020, which resulted in her being stripped of the TNA World Title. She was later fired for refusing to relinquish the title as requested.
During a recent edition of his "Extreme Life" podcast, Matt Hardy discussed Blanchard’s TNA return, noting that everyone working with her was notified in advance.
Matt further mentioned that Blanchard was open to speaking with anyone backstage who had any grievances with her.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Tessa Blanchard’s TNA return: "I do know there was some of that feedback online especially. There were a few people that I was sitting in the room with who changed like, 'Oh man, you know, she was here at one time.' They're like, 'Man, she didn't do things right or whatever else.' One thing I have heard is that, you know, everyone that she was going to be working with, they were given the heads up and they knew that was going to be happening. But also, apparently they've been following her pretty close and just seeing how she's been as a performer, how professional she's been and whatnot. It seems so far, so good. I know she was available to speak with anyone who may have had any kind of grievances with her at the end of the night. I think as a society too, if someone is actually trying to right their wrongs and get their life back on course, we still have to be able to give second chances or third chances. If I hadn't got second chances, I'd have been fucked. There's a lot of people, especially in pro wrestling, that sometime if they're trying to prove themselves and they seem like they are worthy of being given another opportunity, you got to let them have it."
