Tessa Blanchard Vows to Dethrone Masha Slamovich for the Knockouts World Title at Rebellion
Ever since her jaw-dropping return to close out 2024, Tessa Blanchard has made her goal abundantly clear: she is back to once again take control of the Knockouts division.

The stage is now set for a personal showdown at Rebellion as The Hardys put their titles on the line. Will The Hardys exact their revenge and remain the TNA World Tag Team Champions?
