Tessa Blanchard's first TNA match in almost five years drew chants of "She's a racist" on Sunday's Genesis 2025 pay-per-view. Blanchard, who rejoined TNA in December after being dismissed under a cloud of controversy in 2020, defeated the seemingly outgoing Jordynne Grace in a well-worked, 20-minute match at Genesis.

Jordynne Grace has reportedly wrapped up her contractual obligations with TNA Wrestling and its believed she's wrestled her final match with the company. The three-time Knockouts World Champion put Tessa Blanchard over at TNA Genesis in what was a specular final performance for Grace.

This was Tessa's first match in TNA Wrestling since the April 7, 2020 episode of TNA iMPACT! Blanchard was the reigning TNA World Champion at the time she parted ways with the promotion. She returned at TNA Final Resolution, attacking Grace.

Matt Hardy recently spoke about TNA's decision to bring back Tessa Blanchard, which has received negative feedback from fans and industry veterans alike.

Having returned to TNA Wrestling at the Final Resolution PPV back in December, there's no somewhat of an update on Tessa Blanchard 's contract status with the Anthem promotion.

Tessa Blanchard had a great match with at TNA Genesis, but the controversial chants from the crowd might have been something TNA wanted to avoid.

Tessa Blanchard and Jordynne Grace met in a blockbuster match at TNA Genesis (Jan. 19, 2025). They did not disappoint. This bout will be a contender for TNA Match of the Year when award season hits. There was a big-fight feel in the air.
