I don't see her dad being there as a sweetener. Tessa was raised by Magnum TA not Tully. Who knows what that relationship is. Tessa has been problematic in every promotion she's worked for. It would actually be bad for AEW's public image to bring her in. I know I haven't forgotten about all the female talent that spoke out about the abuse and racism she put them through.
to be honest , it was pretty silly for tessa to win the men's world title. expecting her to compete against guys week after week , c'mon that metoo movement is a bit nuch.
IIRC, Tessa did not leave a good impression on the WWE brass when she was in the Mae Young Classic, so that bridge may already have been burned to the ground. AEW would probably do well to stay far away from her too given all the problematic stuff she's been linked to the last couple of years.
best thing for tessa would probably be to just stay and work in mexico. poor impact, i think they might be cursed. the curse of slapnuts has damned them forever.
Despite all of that, Impact did make her their world champion though. But Impact can maybe get away with stuff that WWE and AeW might bit given they are flying lower on the radar.
I do think the fact that who ever signs her (if someone signs her) is getting what they can advertise as a world champion. But I guess being the Impact champion only means so much.
But either way, if she's not willing to work in the pandemic or even cut promos from home, there's no reason for anyone to sign her anytime soon.
I'm generally speaking not a fan of that myself ... but to play devil's advocate it did get people to actually pay a little bit of attention to the Impact champion.
But in a lot of ways they definitely didn't pick the best woman if they were trying to make some sort of woke statement.
i still don't get what's the big deal about the revival. they just seem like a very good tag team to me, which is cool but there's a bunch of those out there. oh and "they remind me of arn and tully!!" which can also be said about various math, gym and wood shop teachers i've had.
