Steph De Lander Reveals Why She Quit TNA

from TMZ Sports: The Interviews with Michael Babcock · host TMZ

Steph De Lander joins TMZ Inside the Ring to tell her side of the story after her shocking TNA exit. In this exclusive interview, Steph reveals she was 100% medically cleared following neck surgery — only to be told TNA was “not comfortable” letting her wrestle again. She opens up about paying for her own surgeries, struggling for 18 months to get a return-to-ring protocol, and the phone call that ultimately led her — and her husband Mance Warner — to walk away from the company. Steph also addresses rumors surrounding her injury, questions about favoritism, the impact of the Chris Bey incident, and what could be next for her career — including WWE or AEW.
