Newly crowned IMPACT World Champion, Tessa Blanchard has now fully addressed the prior accusations made by many female talents in the industry.

After Blanchard won the IMPACT World Title on Sunday at Hard to Kill she spoke in the ring off the air. In that speech she stated, “Nobody in this life is perfect. We’re all human.” She never directly said that this was in regards to the allegations put forth just the day before. She started the speech in kayfabe mentioning Sami Callihan and oVe.
