A former WWE star has opened up about Tessa Blanchard's return to TNA Wrestling and the backstage reaction that she received. Lance Storm believes Tessa should have apologized for her actions.

In early 2020, Blanchard posted a tweet calling out female stars to support each other. The tweet backfired on her, and several women called her out, accusing her of bullying and racism.

Tessa Blanchard's career took a massive hit because of the incident, but things are now seemingly starting to improve for her. She recently made her big return to TNA Wrestling, and it didn't sit well with most fans.

TNA Wrestling producer Lance Storm recently chatted with Figure Four Daily and opened up about Tessa Blanchard's return.

Top WWE star blasted, compared to Winnie the Pooh RIGHT HERE

"It's wrestling. Everybody is going to react professionally. If you were against it, you would probably avoid her. I only saw positive responses and interactions. Most people don't want to make a scene, so if there were people who weren't happy about it, they kept quiet. All I saw was positive reactions. Clearly, she's a very talented worker. I think she would have been smart to apologize, say, 'I was young and stupid,' ages ago because people have been forgiven for much less, faster. Not issuing that apology made it drag out a long period of time. Do people deserve a second chance at some point? I'd like to think so." [H/T Fightful]

Tessa Blanchard had a heated exchange with WWE Superstar Chelsea Green after the allegations were made

Chelsea Green is one of the most popular stars in WWE today. She recently made history by becoming the first-ever WWE Women's US Champion.

She was one of several female stars who Tessa blasted Blanchard for her tweet asking women to support each other.

Blanchard responded to Green's tweet and said that she was trying to publicly put her down for a "little clout." Unfortunately for Tessa, Green was just one of about a dozen women who came forward with allegations against her.
