Pro wrestling star Tessa Blanchard has requested and been granted her release from Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), Fox News Digital confirmed.

Blanchard is expected to address the decision on Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre’s (CMLL) YouTube page in the near future as she performs for that company as well.

Blanchard is one of the top female wrestlers in the world, ranked No. 92 on Pro Wrestling Illustrated’s ranking last year and as high as No. 5 on the outlet’s list in 2019.

She was with TNA from 2018 to 2020 and re-joined the company in 2024 after a run with Women of Wrestling and Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide.

Blanchard is a third-generation pro wrestler, the daughter of Tully Blanchard and the granddaughter of renowned promoter Joe Blanchard.

She made history when she became the first woman to win the TNA World Championship and also held the TNA Knockouts Championship.
