The announcement of Tessa at the September 1 event will likely put an end to rumours that she’d be joining her real life boyfriend, Ricochet, who was announced as finally signing and reporting to the WWE today. Blanchard, a third generation grappler and the daughter of WWE Hall of Famer and Four Horseman Tully Blanchard and the granddaughter of Golden Era wrestler Joe Blanchard, has been used in NXT in limited engagements, as well as took part in last year’s Mae Young Classic.
