#1. Hope isn't true: People backstage are insisting that Vince McMahon signs Tessa Blanchard

Vince McMahon

Tessa Blanchard's departure from IMPACT Wrestling, or at least the nature of it, shouldn't come as any surprise. She's been in Mexico and was reportedly asked to send videos from her phone to use for the programming.

However, she refused to do so and at the end of her contract, it seems that both parties decided to go their separate ways. While Tessa Blanchard is not only a WWE-caliber talent but a main event level star, her attitude problems seem to be an undeniable part of the package that she brings along.

This will cause major issues in WWE and unless she spends time away and rebuilds her reputation, she should probably stay away from WWE.

However, Tom Colohue on Dropkick DiSKussions revealed that there are people backstage "chewing Vince McMahon's ear off" to sign Tessa Blanchard to WWE:

"There definitely is, I've mentioned this already. She's a big name now, and there are a number of people in the WWE who have been singing Tessa's praises for a while. I don't know for sure whether they'd take the punt, but it wouldn't surprise me. I'm not going to name any names of who in the company has been essentially chewing Vince's ear off as to, 'you should hire Tessa Blanchard', but he finds it very difficult to get away from it, I'll tell you that."

We hope this isn't true because all signs seem to indicate that WWE should avoid signing Tessa Blanchard for a while longer.
