WWE Hall of Famer defends the idea of Tessa Blanchard being brought back to TNA Wrestling

During the 2024 TNA Final Resolution event, Tessa Blanchard made her official return to the company. While speaking on his podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T defended the idea of Tessa being brought back.

“Tessa Blanchard is back in TNA, and the thing is, I’ve already seen criticism of Tessa Blanchard being back, and people still wanting to try to cancel her. Get off of it, man. Get off of it. The thing is, if something was said, if an apology was made and fences were mended, we should be able to move on. One thing about certain things, for instance, that get out there on the social media sphere, everybody knows about it, but nobody knows what’s really going on. Everybody knows about the story, but nobody knows what’s going on. I would just like to say, for instance, I had two girls at Reality of Wrestling that had beef. I said, ‘You need to straighten this out. You need to squash that beef.’ On social media, perhaps on social media, they picked it up, but social media doesn’t know that these two have mended that fence, they have been down the road working together, they have tagged together, and everything is all good. So my thing is, guys, get off of all of this hate and let Tessa Blanchard hopefully try to resurrect her career and go out there and re-do this thing all over again. Let’s look at it as that, as a re-do.”

“I was one that made a hell of a mistake in my life, and somebody gave me a second chance. The reason I’m here right now is because of that second chance. I can’t be the one who just casts someone out and throws them away like trash without giving them a second chance.” (quotes courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
