10 Things You Didn't Know About Tessa Blanchard

4. Dating The King

Discussing the romantic relationships of professional wrestlers feels somewhat pointless. Who someone decides to be with is entirely their decision and is nobody else's business, while keeping the rotting corpse of a dead relationship festering on the internet for no great reason is a bit of a dick move. Still, time heals all wounds, supposedly, and the internet is always going to internet.

Tessa Blanchard is married to Daga (well, Miguel Olivo, technically) but she came to the attention of many within the pro wrestling world back when she was dating WWE's most magnificent M.I.A star, Ricochet. Remember him? Flippy guy, incredible body control, washboard abs? Used to date Tessa? The two even had a t-shirt available, with an illustration depicting the couple as 'King and Queen'. There was a time when Ricochet's Instagram page was largely a fan page to Tessa, full of cutesy pictures and saccharine captions.

Nothing is eternal, and the two subsequently broke up in 2018. There were rumours of a physical altercation at the WWE Performance Center, a fight that may or may not have cost Tessa a job with WWE, but these have never been confirmed. They've never been categorically denied either, so make of that what you will.
