Steph De Lander discusses TNA departure and Ring of Honor move

Professional wrestler Steph De Lander has discussed her departure from TNA and her subsequent move to Ring of Honor (ROH). Following a request for her release earlier this year, De Lander has transitioned into regular competition with ROH, appearing on pay-per-view events as early as August after returning from a severe neck injury in April.

De Lander noted that the move to ROH has provided her with significant creative freedom, allowing her to develop and incorporate her own ideas into matches. While she has participated in bouts such as a challenge against Deonna Purrazzo for the Ring of Honor Women’s Pure Championship, she confirmed she is currently working on a pay-per-appearance basis and is not yet officially signed to a contract with the promotion.

Regarding her exit from TNA, De Lander described the current relationship with the company as nonexistent, stating that communication ended once her release papers were received via email. She indicated that while she has encountered former TNA executives, she has avoided direct interaction to prevent confrontation. Although she has not ruled out a future return to the promotion, she expressed no immediate interest in doing so.
