>Tessa has not been fired from WOW but she is no longer factoring into their plans. She was not part of the tapings that recently occurred in any capacity.
>After Fightful's original reporting was posted earlier this month, multiple people reached out to say that it was indicated to them there could be legal recourse between the two sides, and were concerned about possibly being involved in that.
>Blanchard was "livid" after a January tryout was cancelled by CBS due to COVID with David McClane getting the finger pointed at him
>One source said to Fightful that things had to get bad for fallout to occur between McClane and Blanchard. McClane had stuck by Blanchard for multiple controversies throughout the years
>Sources within the company said that WOW was even able to lure back some people that swore they'd never work with Blanchard again only to see "more of the same."
>At one point the WOW project was planned in part to be a rehabilitation project for Blanchard but the business strategy shifted towards August 2021 when WOW started to go after AJ Lee. After they managed to sign Lee, the plan shifted to Tessa being the primary in-ring name with Lee being the veteran face of the company
