#2 The latest updates on Tessa Blanchard's reported AEW signing

There have been conflicting reports circulating regarding Tessa Blanchard's status, as rumors suggested that she and her husband Daga were close to signing with AEW.

However, that is far from the truth. Mike Johnson of PWInsider reported that Tessa Blanchard is currently not scheduled to make an AEW debut. It was added that the former IMPACT Wrestling World Champion hasn't even had any discussions about joining Tony Khan's promotion.

AEW has also not offered any contracts to Blanchard and Daga, and the report was backed by Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, who said that the idea of getting Tessa Blanchard into AEW 'was currently a firm no.'

It should also be noted that Tessa Blanchard is not involved with the mysterious 'Diamond Mine' act in NXT.

As things stand, Tessa Blanchard is nowhere close to signing with either WWE or AEW.

Dave Meltzer clarified his earlier report in the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter and added that Tess Blanchard's controversial past had stopped AEW from pursuing the highly-rated star.

Tessa Blanchard is widely considered one of the best female wrestlers globally. The speculation about her wrestling status will continue to be a trending topic until Blanchard decides to put pen to paper and commit her future to a company.
