One of the best women's wrestlers on the planet right now, the daughter of Tully Blanchard has been the MVP of IMPACT Wrestling for the past year and a half. The former IMPACT Knockouts Champion is stealing shows left, right and center.

Her match against Gail Kim at the start of the year was without a question one of the best women's matches of 2019. But, what makes Tessa stand out is the fact that she is going at it with the men.

Blanchard's feud against Sami Callihan has been nothing short of scintillating. The duo's match at IMPACT's Slammiveersary event received widespread acclaim from both fans and critics.

Even though Blanchard lost to Callihan in the aforementioned bout, she came out of it as an even bigger star. Her grit, determination and never say die attitude is nothing short of inspiring. Blanchard is destined for bigger and better things, which is why we feel she should make the move to WWE shortly.

As great as she has been for IMPACT and vice versa, there just aren't many people watching IMPACT at the moment. Despite the recent change in their fortune, at least creatively, the promotion isn't in great shape, financially and their future hangs in balance especially after the entire controversy surrounding their TV deal with AXS TV.

Blanchard would be a better fit for NXT which is thriving, but is in dire need of some big names who can take it to the next level. Blanchard is the biggest name in women's wrestling outside WWE and is someone who can take NXT's women's division back to its glory days of 2015-16.
