Update On Tessa Blanchard, WWE, AEW, Diamond Mine
Added 2021-05-04 16:57:00 +0000 UTCWWE teased a Diamond Mine act on NXT last week, leading to heavy speculation on who that might be. WWE sources confirmed to Fightful that it was not intended to imply Tessa Blanchard was joining the company. Blanchard has used diamond imagery in the past. A WWE source, when asked, did not want fans expecting Blanchard to be the act or a part of it, but understood how the misconception could happen. Diamond Mine is being played close to the vest within the company.
Talent at the last set of AEW tapings that Fightful spoke to also claimed that AEW said talks with Tessa Blanchard right now were a "firm no."

Did the whole MMA/fight camp premise not indicate it probably wasn't her? This is literally the first time I've associated the two 🤷

2021-05-04 18:45:09 +0000 UTCWould ROH be interested in Blanchard for their rebranded women’s division? Or does she have too much heat for them to want bother taking a chance?
