Steph De Lander Cleared By Her Surgeon For In-Ring Return, Seeking Additional Clearance From Another Medical Professional
De Lander is on her way back to the ring.
Steph De Lander has not wrestled since the summer of 2024. She underwent neck fusion surgery in the fall of that year. De Lander shared in a media appearance that she had been wrestling with a bulging disc in her neck for three years.
Taking to X, De Lander revealed that her neck is now 100 percent healed and her surgeon has cleared her for an in-ring return. She is seeking an additional opinion from a medical professional to ensure that she’ll be able to safely return to the ring.
My neck is 100% healed and I have been cleared by my surgeon to return to the ring. I need guidance from a medical professional to ensure safety so I can get back to doing what I love. I have asked so many times. Can anyone help me @ThisIsTNA @WWE @AEW ??? https://t.co/5Tp7Jq405H
