Women of Wrestling: Getting To Know The WOW Superheroes And Roster

“The Born Legend” Tessa Blanchard

• @Tess_Blanchard

No one in professional wrestling can say they have a pedigree and lineage as stunning as Tessa Blanchard. Her grandfather was legendary wrestler and promoter, Joe Blanchard. Her father is a founding member of The Four Horsemen and a WWE Hall of Famed, Tully Blanchard. Her step-father is a former NWA United States Champion and a true legend of the sport, Magnum TA.

With all that behind her, its no wonder this third generation grappler is extremely accomplished all ready, and she’s only 23 years old!!

Tessa is a current Impact Wrestling Knockout, a former Knockout’s Champion, and the current Crash Women’s Champion, WSU Champion, Zelo Pro Women’s Champion, and PCW Ultra Women’s Champion. You read that correctly, Tessa currently holds FOUR different women’s titles!!

In fact, throughout her 4 year career, Tessa has held a combined ten championships from eleven different promotions. When the WWE had their inaugural Mae Young Classic in 2017, one of the first participants announced was Miss Blanchard.

Tessa has also been making history in her career, as she was one of the first two women to have a televised wrestling match in China, and wrestled the longest women’s wrestling match in history when she went 75 minutes against Mercedes Martinez at RISE 10. PWI has ranked Tessa Blanchard on their top lists every year since 2015, and last year she achieved her highest ranking yet at number 15.

As the biggest signee WOW has, Tessa has her sights set on adding another championship to her resume, that one being the WOW World Title, sooner rather than later.

“The Supernatural Superstar” Santana Garrett

• @SantanaGarrett_

As the daughter of “TNT” Kenny G, Santana Garrett has been at ring side for wrestling since she was born. Debuting in August of 2009, Santana has wrestled for NXT, TNA Wrestling (as Brittany), and was a competitor in the first WWE Mae Young Classic.

As the current WOW World Champion, Santana has held the title for nearly 850 days, but don’t think its just because WOW went off the air after season four. Santana has brought the WOW World Title with her everywhere she goes, defending it in promotion after promotion, all across the United States. Since Santana has been learning wrestling holds from her father since junior high, Santana is now looking to fulfill her wildest dreams and establish herself as the next great woman wrestler, and she will do it with “Headband Power!”

Santana also holds the distinction of being the only woman in WOW history to hold both the World and Tag Team Titles, as she has won both titles once, and was one half the last tag team champions before he team disbanded. PWI has ranked Santana on their Top Females list every year since 2013. In the 2018 list, Santana was ranked number 55, but she has been ranked as high as number 4 back in 2015.

WOW Superheroes airs every Friday night, starting Jan. 18 at 9pm Eastern on AXS TV.
