Tessa Blanchard to return to Arena Mexico for CMLL while with TNA

Tessa Blanchard will return to Mexico City’s Arena Mexico on Friday, October 10 to wrestle for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre, the promotion announced on the October 1 edition of its Informa talk show. CMLL said Blanchard remains under contract with TNA Wrestling but that her deal permits her to work dates for CMLL. No opponent has been named for her Oct 10 appearance.

Blanchard first began appearing regularly for CMLL in October 2023 and was a fixture through 2023 and 2024. She has not worked for CMLL in 2025 after rejoining TNA earlier this year. CMLL confirmed that she will be back in the ring in Mexico, but did not provide further details on the match card or storyline involvement.

CMLL also announced on Informa that Mercedes Moné will defend the CMLL World Women’s Championship on Friday, October 17, against Persephone. Persephone defeated Blanchard in November 2024 and was one of the participants in the TBS Title four-way at Forbidden Door in London in August, a match in which Moné retained the championship. Moné won the CMLL World Women’s title in June at AEW Grand Slam Mexico.

Blanchard’s return comes while she remains part of TNA’s on-screen roster. TNA programming...
