Update On Contract Status Of Steph De Lander Ahead of ROH Death Before Dishonor

Steph De Lander is set to challenge for the ROH Women’s Pure Championship at ROH Death Before Dishonor, and a new report has an update on her contract status. De Lander will face Deonna Purrazzo for the latter’s championship at Friday’s PPV, which has led to some speculation online surrounding whether she is under contract.

De Lander confirmed in an interview with Sean Ross Sapp last week that she was not under contract (at least at that time). She said that she was enjoying working in Ring of Honor and hoped that it could lead to more time there and an eventual deal. According to the site, sources in AEW have indicated that they are happy with De Lander’s work for them thus far.

Steph De Lander initially made an appearance each in ROH and on AEW Dark back in early 2023. She is best known for runs in WWE as Persia Pirotta and under her own name in TNA, GCW, and more. She and her husband Mance Warner exited TNA in March of this year after the company would not clear her to return to the ring following the neck injury that she suffered in 2024.
