Top 10 Female Wrestlers Of The Decade

#3 Tessa Blanchard

Tessa Blanchard

It can't be argued the impact our top two have had on women's wrestling. Despite this, neither of them can say they've gone to the limits that Blanchard has.

The daughter of the great Tully Blanchard's placing in this list is all the more amazing considering she's spent most of her career to-date in Impact Wrestling - a promotion many think is on its knees.

We got our first major exposure to Tessa back in 2017 when she went out in the first round of the Mae Young Classic to Kairi Sane. Despite standing out in arguably the match of the tournament, Blanchard was never picked up by the company.

Upon signing with Impact in 2018, she took these flashes of her potential and took it to the next level, winning the Impact Knockouts Championship soon after.

As her confidence grew in 2019, her star shone brighter and brighter. An acclaimed feud with Gail Kim would be followed by the then-unprecedented step of a male-female rivalry with Sami Callihan.

Despite the odds being stacked against her, Tessa would take the fight to Callihan despite coming up short, but she will soon have her chance at revenge when the pair face for the Impact World Title next month.

The first woman since Chyna to go regularly against the men in the US, it seems inevitable that 2020 will see Blanchard become the first-ever female top champion in a major organization.
