Tessa Blanchard Says She’s Continuing Work With CMLL, Calls MLW Her ‘Second Home’

Tessa Blanchard recently commented on her CMLL status after signing with Major League Wrestling and how it will benefit both MLW and the Lucha Libre promotion.

As noted, MLW announced on September 1 that Tessa Blanchard had signed with the promotion and she’d make her debut during the upcoming September 12 tapings. Speaking on TMZ’s Inside the Ring podcast recently, Tessa said CMLL will continue to remain her “home.”

Blanchard noted that working in CMLL and MLW would be a win-win situation for both her and the two companies, as it will “strengthen” the alliance.

Here’s what she said:

“Well, 100%. CMLL, it’s my home. I feel like MLW is just going to be a second home for me. I’m going to continue to work in Mexico City, live in Mexico City, continue my work in CMLL. If anything, I think that this is just going to be a huge plus because all the success that I have in MLW, I can take that to CMLL and vice versa. If anything, it just strengthens both alliances. I’m so excited for that.”

That said, it must be noted that CMLL issued a statement on September 4, clarifying that Tessa Blanchard’s deal with Major League Wrestling is only related to next Saturday’s tapings in Charleston, South Carolina. Check out the statement HERE.
