Steph De Lander on Her Having “No Relationship” With TNA & Not Currently Interested In Potential Future Return

As noted before, Mance Warner and Steph De Lander departed from TNA Wrestling this past March over issues related to TNA refusing to clear De Lander to return from her neck injury and telling her that she would never be able to wrestle for the promotion again.

A recent episode of TMZ’s Inside The Ring podcast featured De Lander as the guest. One of the topics discussed included De Lander’s thoughts about her departure from TNA and her having no relationship with the company nor any current interest for a potential return in the future.

“At the moment, there is no relationship. There is no communication. The last communication there was was me saying, ‘Send me my release papers, right now.’ I got them in an email, and that was that. I’ve seen people that were high up in the company that I know were part of those decisions.

I’ve seen them at shows and we just walk past each other. I think it’s because they don’t want to have a conversation with me because they know how that’s going to go. There is no relationship at this point. That’s not to say that I’ll never go back to TNA again. The way that wrestling is, everyone ping-pongs all over the place. So I’m never gonna sit here and say I will never ever, ever do this thing. But, for right now, I don’t see that as an option in the near future. Again, things can change but conversations would have to be had and I don’t care to have them anytime soon.”

Since her departure from TNA, De Lander has been working in the indies and has made several appearances for AEW’s Ring of Honor.
