Tommy Dreamer Reveals Angle That Would Have Taken The Impact World Title Off Tessa Blanchard

Tessa Blanchard made headlines by becoming the first ever woman to win the Impact Wrestling World Championship. It was such a move that even her departure made waves especially as she seemingly refused to drop the World Title out the door. Now it seems like we may have had a glimpse as to how things may have gone had she stuck around and dropped the title.

There was a media event for Impact Wrestling where Tommy Dreamer spoke and and he revealed what almost happened for Blanchard and the World Title. There were plans for Dreamer to turn heel on Blanchard and take the title from her, but her refusing to come in and drop the title changed those plans.

“In Impact Wrestling, as you know I had a great relationship with Tessa Blanchard, and I was kind of her mentor. And I wanted to do, this is for old wrestling fans, Mr. Wrestling #2 vs. Magnum TA. And I wanted to actually turn heel on her, and beat her for the title. Then transition it to somebody else.”

“I wanted to turn on her and be total, total heel. It didn’t happen, but I think it would’ve been pretty damn good if it did because you would’ve had people hating on me and my biggest heat was, ‘You turned on a woman? Who trusted you?’ I thought it would’ve been pretty damn good, but it didn’t happen.”

In the end, it didn’t happen, and there was a match for the vacant World Title with Eddie Edwards, Rich Swann, Eric Young, Trey Miguel, and Ace Austin.
