Tessa Blanchard’s complicated situation involving Major League Wrestling (MLW) and Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) appears to have reached a resolution, with the former world champion reportedly cleared to compete for MLW.
According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer, the situation has been worked out between the promotions, paving the way for Blanchard to make her MLW debut on November 7 at Saturday Night Super Fight.
Meltzer shared the update on X on Thursday morning, writing, “Tessa Blanchard headed to MLW. All worked out with CMLL.”
The latest development follows weeks of uncertainty surrounding Blanchard’s status and whether she would be permitted to wrestle for MLW while maintaining her connection with CMLL.
Tessa Blanchard’s MLW Status Takes Another Turn
Blanchard initially announced on September 1 that she had signed with MLW, seemingly confirming a new chapter in her wrestling career.
However, that announcement was followed by a clarification from CMLL just days later. The Mexican promotion stated that Blanchard had not actually signed a contract with MLW and was only scheduled to compete in a match for the company.
The situation eventually resulted in Blanchard being removed from MLW’s September 12 event, leaving questions about her immediate future with the promotion.
Now, with Meltzer reporting that the situation has been resolved and CMLL announcing Blanchard’s upcoming MLW appearance, it appears the necessary arrangements have been made for her to compete.
MLW has Blanchard scheduled for Saturday Night Super Fight on November 7, which could provide a fresh opportunity for the former Impact Wrestling Knockouts World Champion to establish herself with the promotion.
Blanchard to Represent CMLL in the Grand Prix de Amazonas
Blanchard’s upcoming MLW appearance is not the only major development involving her schedule. CMLL has also announced that she will represent the promotion in the Grand Prix de Amazonas on October 23.
She will compete alongside La Jarochita and Thunder Rosa as part of CMLL’s representation in the event.
The tournament will feature wrestlers connected to several promotions, making it an international showcase of women’s wrestling talent.
CMLL’s team will include Blanchard, La Jarochita, and Thunder Rosa, while MLW will be represented by Blackheart and Killer Kelly. Alice Crowley will represent MLP, and AEW will have Megan Bayne, Queen Aminata, and Harley Cameron competing.
The event gives Blanchard another opportunity to compete on a major international stage before her scheduled MLW appearance in November.
What Happens Next for Tessa Blanchard?
With the reported agreement between MLW and CMLL, Blanchard appears poised to work with both promotions without the scheduling dispute that previously threatened her MLW plans.
The situation also highlights the increasingly interconnected nature of professional wrestling, with talent appearing across multiple promotions and international partnerships creating opportunities for crossover matches.
For Blanchard, the next few weeks could prove important as she prepares for the Grand Prix de Amazonas before moving on to Saturday Night Super Fight.
Although the latest report indicates that the issue has been resolved, fans will be watching to see how MLW ultimately presents Blanchard and whether her November appearance leads to a more regular role with the company.
For now, her MLW debut is back on the schedule, and the apparent resolution with CMLL puts the focus back on what Blanchard can accomplish inside the ring.
