Tessa Blanchard talks about her WWE departure

When WWE decided not to sign Tessa Blanchard, the current Impact Wrestling World Champion was interviewed by a wrestling website. Talking about WWE not picking her because of her ‘attitude,’ Tessa Blanchard said that WWE misunderstood her. She added that she was not at all upset when WWE decided not to sign her because they have to run a giant business. She said that she knew what was going to happen and she was looking forward to exploring other possibilities.

"I saw on the dirt sheets that 'Tessa has a bad attitude.' I think that I am misunderstood because people perceive me to be a certain way because I am generational. They expect me to be entitled and expect me to have things early on. I think people misconstrued that honestly," said Tessa Blanchard.
