2. Family Legacy

The show was called ReDefined, and that's exactly what's happened to the knockouts division now that Tessa Blanchard has cemented her place on top of the throne.

Tessa, the daughter of wrestling icon Tully Blanchard, made an immediate impact when she made an unannounced debut at April's Redemption pay-per-view. She left many surprised upon signing a multi-year deal with the company instead of signing with WWE following numerous stints there, including in the inaugural Mae Young Classic.

Tessa capturing the championship was the next logical step in the booking of the knockouts. She has the star power to bring more eyes to the product as well as a surname steeped in wrestling history. The family legacy continues!
