Tessa Blanchard is officially back. After being suspended indefinitely following her explosive breakdown at Slammiversary 2025, Blanchard made a surprise return on the September 25 episode of TNA iMPACT!and she made sure it caused a scene.
The moment came at the end of a match between Jody Threat and Victoria Crawford. As Jody had the momentum, Blanchards music hit and the crowd instantly turned. Tessa walked onto the stage, complete with her trademark taunt, immediately distracting Threat in the ring. The interference gave Crawford the opening she needed to steal the win. Victoria Crawford embraced Tessa on the entrance ramp after the match.
This marks Blanchards first appearance since Slammiversary, where she attacked Indi Hartwell and interviewer Gia Miller post-match. Security had to remove her from the building, and Director of Authority Santino Marella later announced her suspension live in front of the crowd at UBS Arena. TNA gave no timeline for her returnuntil now.
Tessas return didnt involve an apology or a promo. She let her actions do the talking. After weeks of controversy and questions about her status, shes not just backshes already making enemies again.
