On one hand, Tessa really is their most viable star right now.
On the other, I can see this turning into a booking themselves into a corner situation, because they have to be EXTREMELY careful with how she's booked if she wins the title.
Also, shout out to this meaning that Moose is going to waste even MORE time without a true main event run. Impact is dumb, but I don't think they're dumb enough to bait Wrestling Twitter by having a dude WWE backed off of for domestic violence issues beat a woman for the title.
