As noted before, this past Saturday’s MLW Fusion show on beIN Sports, Veeps, and MLW’s official YouTube channel featured a vignette teasing former TNA and current CMLL talent Tessa Blanchard’s upcoming arrival to Major League Wrestling.

TMZ Sports held a recent interview with Blanchard. One of the topics discussed included Blanchard revealing that she recently signed an official contract with MLW.

“The cat’s out of the bag. That’s right. I’m gonna be starting with MLW here soon, and I’m super, super excited for everything to come.

First of all, I think, like, MLW’s women’s division, it’s one of the best-kept secrets in wrestling. They continuously have great matches. They have great workers. They have real depth within the division. And I’ve been watching here from Mexico City. I pay attention to all of our alliances, whether it’s AEW, New Japan, Stardom, MLW, Rev Pro. I watch all of it. I love wrestling. So you gotta study your craft.

I think what’s been missing from MLW is a franchise, a name that the division’s built around. You know, this division was built, and now the franchise, well, I’m here. That’s exactly why I’m here. Every step of this division’s growth, it’s been leading to this.

And my goal in MLW, it’s actually very simple. I want to make the MLW Women’s World Championship the number one women’s title in wrestling.“

Following the release of the interview, MLW confirmed Blanchard’s signing and announced that she will be making her official debut for the company at their Fightland 2026 event on September 12 in Charleston, South Carolina.
