Impact Wrestling’s Hard to Kill pay-per-view was headlined by Tessa Blanchard defeating Sami Callihan to become the first female World Champion.
There was a lot of heat on Blanchard going into the event, which even resulted in her losing an independent booking. Impact officials also kept Blanchard off of media appearances over the weekend.
One fan in attendance (@SerCoryHink) caught footage of Blanchard’s post-match promo where she touched on the controversy.
While being met with dueling “You deserve it / No you don’t” chants, Blanchard stated:
“For the past eight months, this has been my life. Sami and OVE have been the thorn in my side and tonight we did it. Nobody in this life is perfect. We’re all human. And it doesn’t matter what you say about me, it doesn’t matter what you call me… I’ve got one of the strongest minds I have ever known.
So whenever you come for me, you come for all these people. And I am now the standard bearer of Impact Wrestling. And man or woman, pound for pound, I am one of the best in the world, and I am now your World Champion.”
