Tessa Blanchard Says She’s ‘Grown A Lot’ From Her Controversial Past

Tessa Blanchard’s name is filled with controversy, thanks to a lot of stories that went around about her bullying nature. It was also stated that she used racial slurs, something she has denied. Still, it’s hard to argue that her career would be where she is if those controversies didn’t arise.

Despite everything she’s been through, Tessa Blanchard is still striving to be the best she can. Although she was regarded as one of the best female wrestlers around during a certain point, it appears that her name is not in those conversations now. She would obviously like to change that, as she is now with XPW.

While speaking Smooth Vega, Tessa Blanchard opened up about everything she’s gone through over the past few years. She went on to say that it has only made her stronger as she made it through this difficult period of time.

“The that I look back at it thinking back now, because I’ve grown a lot from everything that I’ve been through over the past three years, because it’s been tough, is like mentally, it was challenging, but nothing is ever going to be thrown at me that I’m not strong enough to handle. God, this life, they’re gonna throw things at me that I’m strong enough to handle, there is gonna be a lot of trials and tribulations, but I’ve gotta navigate my way mentally, physically, emotionally to get through it, and grow from it, right?”

Tessa Blanchard got a very good look from WWE years ago, but they obviously went another way. She remained in Impact Wrestling, where she was actually the company’s World Champion when they released her. It appears that Tessa is still trying to get her career on the right track, no matter what she’s been through.
