Steph De Lander professional wrestling career transition

Professional wrestler Steph De Lander has addressed her departure from TNA Wrestling and her subsequent career moves. Following a request for her release earlier in the year—reportedly after the company declined to let her compete despite medical clearance following neck surgeries—De Lander confirmed that her relationship with TNA is currently nonexistent. She described recent interactions with former management as “cold” and noted that communication ended once her release papers were received via email.

Since leaving TNA, De Lander has transitioned to competing with Ring of Honor (ROH). After returning from injury in April, she began appearing at ROH pay-per-view events as early as August. De Lander stated that the move to ROH has offered her “significant creative freedom.” While she has competed for titles such as the Ring of Honor Women’s Pure Championship, she clarified that she is currently working on a pay-per-appearance basis rather than under an official contract. Although she has not ruled out a future return to TNA, she expressed no immediate interest in doing so.
