Blanchard last wrestled at the Warrior Wrestling Stadium Series event on September 12, 2020; Kylie Rae defeated her to win the Warrior Wrestling Women’s Championship.
She was previously one of the top stars in IMPACT Wrestling, but the company stripped her of the world title and terminated her contract on June 25, 2020, after she went on hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In January 2020, several wrestlers came forward with allegations of bullying and racism against Blanchard, but she denied these claims.
Blanchard was set to be involved in the reboot of Women of Wrestling, but Fightful previously reported that she was quietly removed from the plans. She did not appear in the first trailer for the show.
