Tessa Blanchard’s Social Media Erupts with Racism Accusations Before TNA Genesis Return Match

Tessa Blanchard is stepping back into the ring at TNA Genesis, but the drama outside of it is stealing the spotlight. Just hours before her big match against Jordynne Grace, Blanchard posted a photo of herself on Instagram—and the comments section instantly turned into a war zone.

Fans flooded the post with backlash, demanding she apologize for past allegations of racist behavior and bullying. Many referenced her 2020 controversy, where multiple wrestlers accused her of making racist remarks and engaging in backstage bullying. While Blanchard has denied many of the accusations, her silence on the issue since returning to TNA hasn’t gone unnoticed.

The comments weren’t just filled with criticism—some fans bombarded the post with Hulk Hogan GIFs, directly linking her controversy to Hogan’s past racist remarks. Others simply dropped “that’s racist” memes, making it clear that the internet isn’t letting this one slide.

On top of the online backlash, it’s also being reported that Blanchard still hasn’t personally reached out to the people who accused her of wrongdoing.

Blanchard’s return to TNA has been one of the most polarizing topics in wrestling, with many questioning whether she deserves another shot without addressing her past. Now, as she prepares for her in-ring return, the real fight seems to be happening online.
