Why wasn't Tessa Blanchard signed to WWE?

This is a question that many wrestling fans have been asking over the last few years - why didn't WWE sign Tessa Blanchard? She's the daughter of a WWE Hall of Famer Tully Blanchard and also happens to be among the best female wrestlers on the planet.

Many believe that Blanchard is the best American female wrestler not signed to WWE and it's hard to disagree when Impact Wrestling valued her so highly.

Meltzer noted that WWE passed on the opportunity to get her on board 'for a number of attitude-related issues'. Blanchard was one of the standout performers in the Mae Young Classic, and WWE surprisingly didn't pursue a full-time signing.

We hope this is true because WWE would have avoided a lot of trouble. Given the past allegations against her, she would possibly have been out of the door quickly.
