Tessa Blanchard Explains Her Decision To Leave TNA & Says TNA Told Her To Decide on If She Was “A TNA Wrestler Or A CMLL Wrestler”

As noted before, Tessa Blanchard departed from TNA Wrestling earlier this week after being granted her release. Blanchard’s departure was believed to be due to CMLL wanted Blanchard to choose between them and TNA and Blanchard picked CMLL due to the company paid her better and booked her more for shows.

Wednesday’s CMLL Informa show featured Blanchard as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Blanchard’s thoughts about her recent departure from TNA and how it was TNA who had asked her to decide on if she wanted to continue working for them or CMLL and not both.

“The truth is, I have received a lot of messages from friends and news, and I haven’t replied to any of them yet. I want to sort things out and set the record straight today. Here, I have a life, and I feel very happy. The U.S. company (TNA) asked me, “Tessa, you need to decide whether you’re a CMLL wrestler or a TNA wrestler.” I took my time to think it over with my dad, whom I trust very much. My life is here. I’m not just another foreigner—I’m the most Mexican Gringa. I have many goals to achieve here, and I already reached the top of the mountain. I won everything over there, but here I have many dreams and goals to pursue. I needed to focus my career and my life here in Mexico, and from this moment on, I’m 100% with CMLL.”
