EVERY Wrestler From The Original ALL IN - Where Are They Now?

16. Tessa Blanchard

Rey Mysterio All In
Impact Wrestling

The star of the four-way women's match displayed why she was once considered the next star of the scene: everything she did looked credible and violent but was expertly worked.

She never made it, though, because her past, unacceptable conduct was brought to light by multiple peers in January 2020. In addition to this racism scandal, Tessa was also considered virtually impossible to work with in any vaguely harmonious setting. At time of writing, her penultimate Cagematch entry was a date on a show promoted by the rebooted XPW entitled 'Problematic', which is the joke that writes itself.

Has since been lapped by Rhea Ripley as a powerhouse worker, so her distinct talent is no longer distinct. Even an ingenious PR rehab drive won't save her at this point.
