Earlier today, IMPACT Hard to Kill headliner Tessa Blanchard was accused of being a part of several moments of bullying and racism. These messages all seem to center around one specific event in Japan, and it seems as if other wrestlers remember the moment. Ever since a handful of wrestling superstars took to social media to confirm the incident, even more have stepped forward, with another batch of superstars confirming that the moment in Japan took place.
Superstars including Shanna, Allysin Kay, Big Swole all took to social media to share stories of the incident, seemingly confirming that something took place during it. Needless to say, this isn’t the type of attention Blanchard would like to be receiving, especially right before a major pay-per-view.
You can see the tweets from various superstars below:

The reason I’ve never said anything until now is because it wasn’t my story to tell. I made it clear to La Rosa that I had her back, and today was the day she gave me permission. You can’t force someone to come forward, but you can be there for them. THAT is “supporting women”.

The day I got the call from my gf La Rosa Negra of the incident- she made me promise to keep my mouth shut because she was afraid of being blacked ball by her. As promised, I did. So I helped her get into Marvelous which is another Japanese promotion.

So since we telling stories….Big Swole's turn. I won't speak on all the other stories but the one about La Rosa I know personally. This past year at Wrestlecade I spoke to her about this and about hashing it out with Tessa. I've spoken to Tessa as well, after talking with

light on social media. People are entitled to deal with this how they want. I just want the world to know the last part of the story.
