Tessa Blanchard Says She’d Like To Face Sasha Banks During Twitter Q&A

Impact Wrestling’s Tessa Blanchard will have a chance to earn a shot at Sami Callihan’s Impact World Championship this Tuesday on AXS TV. Blanchard will face Brian Cage, Michael Elgin, Moose, Daga, and Rich Swann in a 6-person elimination match on this week’s show.

Blanchard took part in a fan Q&A session recently and had some interesting things to say regarding potential future opponents. Highlights of Blanchard’s Q&A session are below:

Perhaps the most notable comment Blanchard made during the Q&A is that she would like to face Sasha Banks someday. Banks’ ring name before signing with WWE was Mercedes KV (real name Mercedes Justine Kaestner-Varnado).

I’d like to wrestle Mercedes KV.
