TNA Turning Point took an unexpected turn when it was announced that Tessa Blanchard would not be competing on the card after all. In a surprise move, it was revealed during the live broadcast that Blanchard was not medically cleared to compete, and would be replaced by newly signed talent Mila Moore.
The announcement came just before the match, catching fans off guard and immediately shifting attention to Moore’s debut. With no promo or warning, the company opted to make the substitution public on air, without putting a mic in Tessa’s hands—making the situation feel all the more abrupt.
Moore’s appearance marks her first official outing as part of the TNA Knockouts division, stepping into a high-pressure scenario that could fast-track her status if she delivers.
Blanchard’s sudden removal adds to the uncertainty to her ongoing role in TNA. Whether this is a temporary medical issue or a sign of something larger remains to be seen, but the company wasted no time in pivoting to spotlight their newest roster addition.
