Tessa Blanchard wins the Impact World title

WWE Hall of Famer Booker T recently shared his views on Tessa Blanchard’s history-making World title victory at Impact Wrestling’s “Hard To Kill” PPV. Blanchard defeated Sami Callihan in an Intergender match to win the World Championship, in the main event of the show.

On the latest edition of "The Hall of Fame" podcast, Booker stated that he isn't a fan of Tessa winning the World title.

I'm not holding my judgment on it, I mean I'm serious. Big ups to Tessa Blanchard because she's good, she's really good at what she does. But this is the worst idea that Impact Wrestling ever had in the history of their company.

Booker then went on to explain why he felt the angle was bad.

Because, now all the men in the company, if they wrestle her, and she beat them, it diminishes every guy in the company. I mean, who's the top guy in the company now? I cannot see Becky Lynch wrestling Samoa Joe or Brock Lesnar. I mean this is the worst idea in the history of wrestling.

Blanchard's World title win has received a fairly positive reaction from the wrestling comunity. It would be interesting to know what she thinks of Booker T's opinion on her victory.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
