Tessa Blanchard was spotted training with WWE Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes and AEW stars
Former Impact World Champion Tessa Blanchard was seeing training with her husband, Daga, and indie wrestlers Vertvixen and Jazmin Allure at the Rhodes Wrestling Academy.
And with her, of course, was WWE Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes. Both Allure and Vertvixen are working indies but have appeared on AEW Dark several times recently.
Dustin Rhodes himself shared a photo with the 4 wrestlers and shared it on his social media account, captioning it:
“Had some special guests come train today at @AcademyRhodes@Tess_Blanchard@Daga_wrestler@VertVixen@jazminallure Thanks guys for the Academy sweat!!”
Rhodes never worked with AEW but both his sons, Dustin and Cody, are with Tony Khan’s promotion currently.
Blanchard then quoted Rhodes’ tweet and said, “Your school is so beautiful. Thank you for opening the doors to us & for putting in work with us today. #IronSharpensIron [Diamond emoji]”
Needless to say, the photo was doing the rounds on Twitter and led many fans to speculate if she could come on AEW.
Blanchard is a free agent after she was released from Impact last June. Tessa, who has wrestled in WWE before, was recently linked with an appearance on WWE after NXT aired the ‘Diamond Mine’ vignette.
The heavy use of diamonds in her wrestling persona by Blanchard led many fans to believe if she was the one who would be appearing on the Gold brand under that name.
That rumour, however, was shot down shortly after it appeared. Not just that, but she was also spotted training WWE talent Sasha Banks and Bayley in late March.
It is still unclear where Blanchard goes next, but it is undeniable that the 25-year-old is one of the hottest prospects in pro wrestling right now.
