#2. Backstage interest in WWE to sign Tessa Blanchard

Tessa Blanchard's recent IMPACT Wrestling departure has made the 24-year-old the most sought-after talent in pro wrestling. Dave Meltzer had first reported that WWE had sent out feelers about signing Blanchard.

Tom Colohue now reports on the Dropkick DiSKussions podcast that many people in the WWE have been signing Blanchard's praises for a while.

Several people backstage in WWE are reportedly 'chewing off Vince McMahon's ears' about signing the former IMPACT Wrestling star. It was noted that the WWE boss does find it hard to get away from the growing voices that are trying to convince him to get Blanchard on board.

Tom revealed:

"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."
