#3 Tessa Blanchard

There is a lot of hype surrounding this young lady.

So, what happens when your biological father is a WWE Hall of Famer and a member of the original Four Horsemen, combined that with the fact that your step-father is one of the greatest wrestlers of the famed Territory Era? Well, you become Tessa Blanchard, that's exactly what happens. Tessa is quick to let you know that she has a fantastic relationship with her father, Tully Blanchard, as well as her step-father, Magnum TA.

Tessa Blanchard is not just a pretty face with a famous last name. In fact, she's done pretty well for herself, considering she has only 23-years-old and has been in the ring for just a few years. She has actually won several top-tier titles as well, which include the IMPACT Knockouts Title. Tessa was also named the IMPACT Knockout of the year for 2018. It's also worth noting that she was also named the ranked number 3 in the top 10 women's wrestlers of the year for 2018 by Sports Illustrated.

Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
