Mance Warner And Steph De Lander Reportedly Quit TNA Wrestling

In a developing story reported by Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp, the TNA Wrestling roster has reportedly lost two names. Both Mance Warner and his wife, Steph De Lander, have effectively quit the promotion. The sudden departure of the duo appears to stem from a serious disagreement regarding medical clearance following a long-term injury suffered by De Lander.

The conflict reportedly centers on TNA’s refusal to clear the 29-year-old De Lander for an in-ring return. According to the report, the company informed her that she would never be permitted to wrestle under the TNA banner again due to her injury status.

In an effort to prove her readiness, De Lander sought out a second opinion from WWE’s specialized spinal surgeon, who reportedly provided her with the medical clearance she sought. While De Lander has taken to social media to announce she is cleared to return to competition, the divide between her assessment and the company’s medical stance led to the current fallout.

Steph De Lander hasn’t competed in a singles match since May 2024 as she worked through her recovery process. While TNA Wrestling has not yet issued a formal comment on the situation, sources indicate that the couple may officially finish their commitments following the current loop of television tapings. Warner has been a fixture in the mid-card and tag team scenes, and De Lander, who was a prominent figure in the Knockouts division before her injury.
