Mance Warner and Steph De Lander have made the decision to exit TNA, according to a new report. Fightful Select reports that Warner and De Lander have both decided to quit the company. The couple are married, and according to the outlet, the decision to leave comes from the fact that TNA will not clear De Lander to return to the ring.
De Lander announced in September of 2024 that she was indefinitely out of action due to a neck injury. She hasn’t worked a match since May of that year. She posted to Twitter in January to note that she was cleared by her surgeon and tagged WWE, TNA, and AEW, writing:
“My neck is 100% healed and I have been cleared by my surgeon to return to the ring. I need guidance from a medical professional to ensure safety so I can get back to doing what I love. I have asked so many times. Can anyone help me @ThisIsTNA @WWE @AEW ???”
The report from Fightful says that De Lander was told she would never be able to wrestle again in TNA, although she went to WWE’s spinal surgeon to try and get cleared. One source in TNA said they believe the two could finish up after their current run of tapings.
TNA has not responded to requests for comment at this time. De Lander made her debut for TNA in February of 2023, while Warner made his debut in January of 2025.
