The wrestling video game WWE 2K Battlegrounds is releasing on Sept. 18. Twitch streamer newLEGACYinc was playing an advanced copy of the game tonight on the eve of release, and an interesting image was spotted in what looks like an in-game or digital tutorial.

There’s no denying that’s an image of Tessa Blanchard that seems to have made it into the game. Blanchard is currently a free agent, after Impact Wrestling terminated her contract in June.
Basil Mahmud, the person who took this photo of Blanchard for Impact Wrestling, wants to know why the image was used without permission.
Hey @WWEgames you wanna tell me why you took my photo without my permission to use it in your game? https://t.co/xgGoFRzoUW
