Tessa Blanchard Image Likeness Used In WWE 2K Battlegrounds
WWE 2K Battlegrounds is set to release on Friday, September 18, but reviewers were able to get an early copy of the game.
Twitch streamers newLEGACYinc played a handful of games this week and discovered an image that has a striking resemblance to former IMPACT Champion Tessa Blanchard.

Blanchard is currently a free agent after she departed from IMPACT Wrestling in June. It is unknown where she will end up next or if she has an offer from any company. She has remained at home during the pandemic era, choosing not to wrestling for IMPACT as they held empty arena shows heading into Slammiversary.
The photographer who took the original photo of Tessa acknowledged the issue on social media.
Hey @WWEgames you wanna tell me why you took my photo without my permission to use it in your game? https://t.co/xgGoFRzoUW
