Following the jaw-dropping events at TNA Slammiversary this past Sunday, it appears that Tessa Blanchard’s violent outburst against Gia Miller could be the start of a brand-new, first-time-ever feud in TNA.
According to a report from Fightful Select, internal discussions within the company have focused on a potential in-ring program between Blanchard and Miller. While Miller is best known as an on-screen interviewer and backstage host, she has previous wrestling experience in TNA, OVW, and on the independent circuit, making the rumored feud a legitimate possibility.
The Angle That Sparked It All
The segment in question took place after Blanchard’s hard-fought match against Indi Hartwell, which ended in defeat for the controversial former champion. In a moment of frustration and rage, Blanchard attacked Gia Miller at ringside, slapping her across the face and slamming her head into the steel steps multiple times before security was able to intervene.
The brutal beatdown left fans stunned and immediately sparked questions about whether this was a one-off moment or the beginning of something bigger.
Suspension and Storyline Fallout
Later in the broadcast, TNA’s on-screen Director of Authority Santino Marella issued an indefinite suspension to Blanchard for her actions. While presented as a disciplinary move, the suspension is believed to be a storyline mechanism to temporarily write Blanchard off television.
Sources indicate that Blanchard’s eventual return is being mapped out to reignite the feud with Miller, turning the former backstage interviewer into an active participant in a full-fledged storyline for the first time since her wrestling appearances in OVW.
What’s Next?
As of this writing, no official timetable has been announced for Blanchard’s return. However, fans can expect a heated rivalry when the former Knockouts Champion resurfaces, with the personal nature of the Slammiversary attack likely serving as the emotional core of the program.
