Tessa Blanchard’s return to TNA Wrestling at Final Resolution didn’t sit well with Jordynne Grace, who became the immediate target of Blanchard’s comeback statement. Following Blanchard’s surprise attack, Grace didn’t hold back her thoughts in a digital exclusive, delivering a brutal verbal takedown.
“I’ve known for a while that Tessa was ignorant, but what I didn’t realize is that she’s actually a complete idiot,” Grace said. “Coming back after all this time, after abandoning this company to try to make a statement and using me as an example. Tessa, a lot has changed since you’ve been gone. You’re going to realize very quickly that you made a huge f***ing mistake.”
Blanchard, who left TNA in June 2020 under contentious circumstances, has been no stranger to controversy. At the time of her departure, Blanchard was the reigning TNA World Champion but was terminated after reportedly failing to comply with company requests during the COVID tapings. Reports claimed TNA asked her to send in promos and eventually appear at tapings to drop the title, but neither happened, leading to her release.
Adding fuel to the fire, Blanchard faced widespread allegations in early 2020 of bullying and racism. Several female wrestlers came forward with accusations, including La Rosa Negra, who alleged that Blanchard used racist language towards her—a claim Blanchard has denied.
Now, with her dramatic return, Blanchard seems intent on reclaiming her place in TNA Wrestling. But Jordynne Grace’s strong words signal that Blanchard’s path forward may not be as smooth as she hopes. Grace made it clear she’s ready for a fight and isn’t about to let Blanchard’s actions go unanswered.
