Tessa Blanchard has nothing but high praise for the TNA roster these days.
While appearing on a recent edition of the “DeLoco Podcast” podcast, Blanchard commented on the current TNA roster, whether she’d be interested in facing off against Charlotte Flair, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On a possible match with Charlotte Flair: “[Laughs] hey, I never say no. The Tessa Blanchard from back then, who wasn’t afraid of any man, any woman, big, small, tall, short, whatever, I don’t back down from any challenge. So hey, if you put it there, I’m gonna seize every opportunity.”
On the TNA roster: “Right now, I think that with TNA being a completely different company, it’s filled with so much talent, especially with this partnership with WWE that was just announced, I think the possibilities are endless. There’s not just one person I want to face, there’s multiple people I’d like to face. I’ve been watching the girls in the locker room, and everyone goes out there and kills it. Every match on a card outdoes the match before it, and everyone, from the guys to the girls, I’m becoming familiar now with people that I wasn’t familiar with their work. There’s so much new talent on the scene, and with this partnership, it’s like the possibilities are endless. You could see someone from TNA pop up on Monday Night Raw, or you could have someone from SmackDown pop up on a Thursday IMPACT live. You don’t know what to expect.”
Gisele Shaw never got a chance to work on WWE NXT prior to departing TNA Wrestling, but that’s something she never really thought about much.
While appearing on a recent edition of the “Ring The Bell” podcast, Shaw commented on never crossing over to WWE NXT. She said,
“You know what, I don’t really think of it that much. I don’t want it to be like a weird thing, but in wrestling, there’s so many things happening that I can’t take that personally because maybe it’s not — to me, I think about wrestling, it’s like you’re auditioning for a role and maybe the role, it wasn’t fitting.”
She continued, “I’m happy for all the people that went to NXT you know and their partnership, but my day will come and I feel like that’s what I need to focus on.”
