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.
