More Details On Tessa Blanchard's Impact Termination (Patreon)

IMPACT Wrestling terminated Tessa Blanchard's contract, but it was coming due anyway.

Fightful Select has learned that Tessa Blanchard's contract was set to expire on June 30, weeks before she was advertised to defend the IMPACT World Championship at Slammiversary in a 5-way match. With her termination, she's been stripped of that title and is no longer advertised for the match.

We were told weeks ago that IMPACT asked Tessa Blanchard to film promos, but that she asked for a day rate, and the two could not come to terms to make that happen. The release had nothing to do with the controversies from January. She's not appeared on IMPACT tapings since the COVID-19 pandemic started, and has been stuck in Mexico. 

We've heard there is interest from other companies, but which ones were not specified to us. 

Fightful has also reached out to Tessa Blanchard on the matter.
