Something tells me there's no point in trying to explain this to you but if you actually followed the company and the events leading up to this, you would know that no one was buried to make this happen. Tessa lost to Sami twice prior to this. The only males she's gotten clean wins over are The Crists who are Sami's goons and not any more athletic than she is. She scored a virtual fluke win over Cage in a gauntlet match to earn the shot. And then she finally bested Sami after taking 80% of the offense during the match. And let's face it, Tessa is a great athlete. Sami isn't. It isn't THAT outlandish.
At the end of the day, no matter how you feel about it, this is what a vast majority of the fans wanted and it's brought Impact more relevance than it's had in years. Furthermore, Tessa is one of the best and most highly touted wrestlers of any gender in America that's not signed to WWE right now. She's a fine "face of the company" even though, yeah, you don't HAVE to make her World Champion to establish that.
No one and nothing was buried by this move. I'm sure certain people with fragile egos will be turned off by this kind of booking, but it is what it is. Can't please everyone.

That’s great and all, regardless of any type of backstory or Sami Callahan’s physique a basic human biology class says it’s totally nonsensical.
If Callahan is good enough to be World Champion that makes him 1000 times better than Tessa.
And that’s not knocking women, it’s just biology. Nowhere else on the planet do women compete with men at an elite level except in an Impact wrestling ring apparently.
To provide some examples of how huge the gap is between men and women in terms of athleticism, speed, strength, etc.
Team USA women’s soccer team is the best in the world, got beat by an Under 15 boys club team from Dallas.
The last women’s gold medalist sprinter at the Olympics would have had her time beaten 15,000 times by men/boys. (Not an exaggeration, Duke Univ did a study of verified recorded times)
But Tessa Blanchard is better than the entire roster of men? How is that not burying the company.
Obviously not saying everyone that hates her winning is sexist and loves her winning is racist bc I know someone was going to interpret this that way
