Two wrestlers have effectively quit TNA.

Fightful Select's Sean Ross Sapp has learned that Mance Warner and his wife Steph De Lander have both quit TNA Wrestling. We're told that it stems from the company refusing to clear Steph De Lander to return to the ring from injury.

De Lander was told that she would never be able to wrestle again in TNA, though she went to WWE's spinal surgeon for clearance. De Lander had posted to social media that she's cleared to return. The 29-year old hasn't wrestled a singles match since May 2024, and has been working to recover.

TNA Wrestling did not immediately respond to our request for comment. We'll update if they do. One source said they believe they could finish up after their current loop of tapings.

I mean one wrong bump with spinal stuff and it's pretty much over... I get TNA being extra cautious here.

It’s easy to say lol TNA & there have been alot of lol TNA moments in there defences I don’t blame them for be cautious & look after the talents well being these performers take risks for are enjoyment & entertainment as fans. I get the frustration on Warner & De Lander part as well & if she’s going elsewhere to get cleared & they won’t clear her I get it & why they both would leave

So they just said they quit, but tna could still stop them from going to a place like aew or wwe?

Kyle Cotton

So did she get clearance from the WWE doctor? I’m not entirely clear here by reading this.

Christopher Eckhoff

Got clearance from the surgeon but not TNA doctors is what I’m gathering

Keith S

I think this is a "I understand both sides" type thing.

When have you known the IWC to have anything other then healthy debate? Lol
