Like I mentioned with Samoa Joe, there is no reason she can't work with all 3.

Take this for what you will.... But on the Konnan/Disco Inferno podcast they confirmed that Tessa Blanchard is 100% signed to a promotion; that has yet to announce her hiring and that the promotion has 3 letters.

So WWE/AEW/ROH...

I'm not quite sure why WWE/AEW would wait to announce it. Other than wanting some of the negative publicity to blow over. I don't know if i see ROH making a move for her either. Time will tell.

Did he specify it was an American promotion?

WWE
AEW
ROH
MLW
AAA
DDT

Konnan is involved with booking in both AAA and MLW so it would make the most sense that he'd have the scoop if it were one of those two promotions. If it's MLW she's probably wrestling the men full time because MLW only has one female wrestler signed. Zeda Zhang is all they have. De La Renta has not wrestled a match since 2018.

I don't think she completely burned the AAA bridge and her husband I think is still signed there, though he has not wrestled at all in 2021. But then again, AAA is pretty broke right now. Maybe she's working cheap just to get back into the ring.

I also read that WOW (Women of Wrestling) is coming back for another season. She's a former champion there. Not sure if they're planning to sign anybody or just use people on a per-show basis though. They certainly have the cash to sign anybody they want but I don't think their payscale is all that high.

He didn't specify if it was American only. I kinda got the impression that it was a bigger company... but i guess it could be MLW/AAA.

Nobody cares what she did in Mexico, MLW seems to collect people with issues. They could sign her without any fan backlash. If AEW or ROH signed her, there would definitely be backlash.

WWE is big enough that they can take any heat associated with signing her.

I'm going to say it's one of those three. WWE, AAA, or MLW.

It's got to be AAA. She lives in Mexico and no American company will touch her until she proves to be something other than a nightmare backstage.

Why would AAA wait to announce her though? I still think it's anyone's guess.

She'd presumably wrestle anybody on the roster. She wrestled the men in Impact and held their world title and several MLW wrestlers have wrestled women. Mil Muertes even lost to Sexy Star in Lucha Underground for the title in Aztec Warfare. MLW seems to be doing some store brand Lucha Underground anyway.

Why would they announce her if they can't run regular shows yet (they can't due to Covid in Mexico). Plus AAA does wacky stuff all the time. You shouldn't expect AAA to make sense.

They have done some shows including a Triplemania but not their consistent schedule. Mexico still can't have fans so AAA and CMLL are running a very limited schedule.

Does AAA even sign wrestlers? Yes, I know that Psycho has exclusive with them or something like that, but he is one of the top guys in the country. Doesn't feel like AAA would care enough about Tessa to do that. MLW sounds most likely since they sign everyone on toilet paper.

As for Joe, if RoH can make only one more hire this year then he definitely should be the one who gets hired. I don't even care if he can do only few more matches, thats enough for me.

– According to a report by Fightful Select, Ring of Honor (ROH) has reportedly already re-signed broadcaster Ian Riccaboni. Riccaboni’s contract was reportedly going to originally expire at the start of April 2021. However, it appears he ended up signing a new contract in late 2020.

Per the report, Riccaboni re-upped with ROH until at least the summer of 2023. While there was interest from other companies for Riccaboni, he opted to stay on with ROH.


- Glad to hear Ian will be with ROH for the next few years. He brings so much to the product; and one of my favorite announcers.
