Later that night, she also competed in a 4-way match against Dynamite DiDi, Kikyo, and Robyn Reid, which would be won by DiDi.

Schuessler, under ring name Tesha Price made her All Elite Wrestling debut on the November 6, 2020, episode of Dark in a match against Big Swole, which she lost. She made her Dynamite debut on December 9, where she lost to Abadon. She went on to have 21 matches in All Elite Wrestling.

### WWE
#### Mae Young Classic (2018)

Schuessler appeared on the July 25 episode of NXT under the name Tenilla Price, losing a squash match to Lacey Evans, where after the match Evans draped her used handkerchief across Price's face. On August 8, now back under the name Tesha Price, she lost to Britt Baker in a dark match held during the second annual Mae Young Classic.

#### Teaming and feuding with Kiana James (2021–2024)

In 2021, she returned to WWE under the name of Fallon Henley during Joe Gacy's invitation for NXT wrestlers, and faced Gacy that night, before being interrupted by Diamond Mine. Throughout the remainder of late 2021 and into early 2022, Henley competed on 205 Live and NXT 2.0 in losing efforts against the likes of Ivy Nile, Tiffany Stratton and Lash Legend, she would score her first victory against Tiffany Stratton at Roadblock with the help of Sarray, As 2022 went along, Henley's backstory was explained as she was a country girl who worked at her family's bar to pay for her wrestling training, and developed a friendship with Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen who had similar blue collar/country characters. Henley began feuding with Kiana James. James, as part of her businesswoman gimmick, was looking to buy the Henley family bar and redevelop the land for condos. After a while, James and Henley developed a grudging respect and formed a team.
At NXT Vengeance Day, Henley and James defeated Katana Chance and Kayden Carter to win the NXT Women's Tag Team Championship, the first title in her wrestling career. On April 1, 2023, at NXT Stand & Deliver, they lost the tag titles to Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn. Later on NXT, Henley and James tried to regain their titles against Dawn and Fyre, but they were unsuccessful. After discovering that James was cheating on Brooks Jensen with a man named Sebastian, Fallon parted ways with her, but Jensen choose to stay with James. However, on April 25 at Spring Breakin', Henley and Josh Briggs beat James and Jensen, which caused James to finally admit to Jensen that she never actually loved him. She broke up with him, leading Jensen to reunite with Henley and Briggs. Henley would take the final spot in the women's Iron Survivor Challenge in December, determined by a last chance fatal four-way match also including James, Roxanne Perez and Thea Hail, which she won. However, she failed to win the match at NXT Deadline.

#### Fatal Influence and NXT Women's North American Champion (2024–present)

At New Year's Evil on January 2, 2024, Henley's win over Stratton made the latter become a "Ranch Hand for a Day”. At NXT Stand & Deliver on April 6, Henley teamed up with Kelani Jordan and Chase University's Thea Hail to defeat Jacy Jayne, Kiana James, and Izzi Dame in a six-woman tag team match. At Night 2 of Spring Breakin', Henley turned heel for the first time in her career by attacking Hail following Hail's victory over Jayne. At NXT Battleground, she participated in a six-women ladder match for the newly created NXT Women's North American Championship but failed to win the title at the event. On the July 9 episode of NXT, Henley, who took issue with wrestlers with no independent wrestling backgrounds getting more opportunities in NXT, formed an alliance with Jayne and Jazmyn Nyx (with Nyx given an exception by Jayne and Henley despite having never competed on the independent circuit herself), eventually calling themselves Fatal Influence. The trio teamed up for the first time at Week 1 of NXT: The Great American Bash on July 30 where they defeated Karmen Petrovic, Lola Vice, and Sol Ruca in a six-woman tag team match.
Since September, Fatal Influence had set their sights on the NXT Women's North American Championship held by Kelani Jordan. At NXT Halloween Havoc on October 27, Jordan faced Fatal Influence in a gauntlet match for the NXT Women's North American Championship. Henley defeated Jordan to win the title as the third person in the gauntlet after interference from Jayne and Nyx, winning her first singles championship in her wrestling career. On the November 26 episode of NXT, Henley defended her title against Tatum Paxley, after which she along with Jacy Jayne and Jazmyn Nyx would deliver a beatdown to Paxley, until Gigi Dolin came down to even the odds, thus starting a feud with Paxley and Dolin (after which Shotzi would align with Paxley and Dolin a week later). The two teams would face off at NXT: New Year's Evil, with Fatal Influence coming out on the losing end. At NXT Vengeance Day on February 15, 2025, Henley lost the NXT Women's North American Championship to Stephanie Vaquer, ending her reign at 111 days.
