Former TNA World Champion Tessa Blanchard speaks highly of WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley, and discussed a potential clash between the two stars.
Blanchard, who recently returned to TNA at Final Resolution and defeated Jordynne Grace at Genesis, addressed the idea of a dream match during a recent appearance on the DeLoco Podcast.
When asked about a showdown with Ripley, Blanchard expressed admiration for the WWE star’s evolution.
“She’s phenomenal. I’ve watched some of her matches, and we actually did the first-ever Mae Young Classic for WWE together. But she was a different Rhea Ripley then. She was blonde hair, still tall, still built, still phenomenal in the ring.
But she has just transformed into this absolute powerhouse over there. So yeah, I would be down for that,” Blanchard remarked.
With WWE’s partnership with TNA making cross-promotional matches possible, the prospect of Ripley facing top TNA talent like Blanchard has generated significant excitement among wrestling fans.
