The real reason for Tessa Blanchard’s absence from TNA has been revealed

The return of Tessa Blanchard to TNA was controversial due to her past controversies, which generated rejection from several fans. This became even more evident after the brutal beating that Tessa gave to Gia Miller at TNA Slammiversary, an attack that culminated in a supposed indefinite suspension, cementing her status as the most hated heel in the company.

However, a new report from Fightful Select has revealed that Blanchard's departure from the programming was, from the beginning, part of a planned storyline. According to the report, the "kayfabe suspension" was used by TNA to justify her absence, as the wrestler took time off to attend to "elective procedures" (medical or personal).

In this way, the angle of the brutal assault on Gia Miller, which included head blows against the steel stairs, served as a perfect excuse to cover her personal matters without sacrificing the credibility of her character. After weeks away, Blanchard returned in the September 25 episode of TNA iMPACT! and immediately resumed her violent harassment against Miller.

Many fans thought her suspension was due to genuine backstage misconduct, stemming from her past controversies. However, it is now confirmed that Tessa has not had any disciplinary incidents and that the rivalry was planned to cover her period of inactivity. This intense harassment story culminates tonight at Bound for Glory, where Blanchard will face Gia Miller in one of the most anticipated matches on the card.
