Various: Tessa Blanchard on Slammiversary’s Main Event, G1 Climax Night 2 Results, Indies

Tessa Blanchard Comments on Headlining Slammiversary XVII

A recent episode of the Busted Open Radio show had Tessa Blanchard as the guest and one of the topics discussed included her thoughts on becoming the first woman wrestler in Impact Wrestling history to headline a Slammiversary event.

“Oh, I loved Slammiversary. It was just… it was a really neat thing. I didn’t expect to be in the main event. I didn’t know that they were gonna change everything and put us in the main event. So that was really, really cool for me. A girl has never done that in IMPACT yet so, that was really neat. Its been a important thing for me this year — I really wanna make history in my own way so it’s like a little baby step towards doing that I feel like.”
