There's a lot of speculation in a new act being teased in WWE, but we've confirmed one person who isn't involved in the Diamond Mine -- Tessa Blanchard.
Fans have speculated the last few weeks who or what the Diamond Mine is, and the company is being tight lipped about it. However, WWE sources did tell us Tessa Blanchard isn't involved.
WWE teased a Diamond Mine act on NXT last week, leading to heavy speculation on who that might be. WWE sources confirmed to Fightful that it was not intended to imply Tessa Blanchard was joining the company. Blanchard has used diamond imagery in the past. A WWE source, when asked, did not want fans expecting Blanchard to be the act or a part of it, but understood how the misconception could happen. Diamond Mine is being played close to the vest within the company.
Blanchard was stripped of the IMPACT World Championship last year, and has not wrestled for a televised company since before the pandemic, and has only wrestled once at all since the pandemic started. Blanchard gained controversy when stories and allegations of bullying and racial slurs emerged in January 2021.
