While stepping into the ring to face off against IMPACT Wrestling World Champion Sami Callihan is in the future for Tessa Blanchard, the grappler also now has another ring in her life.

Taking to her Instagram page, The Queen of the Carolinas has revealed that she’s now engaged to fellow IMPACT wrestler Daga.

Right now, Blanchard is one of the hottest stars in the whole wrestling industry, with the daughter of Tully becoming a true trailblazer over the past couple of years.

As alluded to, Tessa is due to challenge for Sami Callihan’s IMPACT Wrestling World Championship at January 12th’s Hard to Kill PPV from Dallas, Texas’ Bomb Factory. While this marks the first time that a woman has challenged for a major World Championship live on PPV, it’s won’t be the first time that the pair will do battle.

Back during this past July’s Slammiversary XVII PPV, Callihan managed to beat Blanchard in a brutal, intense match. Skip ahead to last month, and Sami defeated Brian Cage to become the new IMPACT Wrestling World Champion – only to soon find himself confronted by Tessa Blanchard.
