Steph De Lander Says She Didn’t Ask Mance Warner To Leave TNA With Her, ‘He Made His Own Decision’

Steph De Lander credits her husband for being supportive.

Unless you live under a rock, you’re probably aware that Lander and Mance Warner quit TNA Wrestling on March 4. There has been a ton of press surrounding the incident, with De Lander noting that the company didn’t want to clear her to return to the ring.

Speaking with Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp for a new interview, Lander said that Warner has been very supportive before clarifying that she didn’t ask for him to leave TNA with her.

“Mance has been very supportive this whole situation and he is just been by my side and he’s like, ‘Look, it’s your story to tell.’ He supports me 110%. I didn’t ask him to leave. Like, if he wanted to stay at TNA, I would have understood and I would have been happy for him to have his journey and I’ll have mine, and I’m sure we’ll work together again at some point, but he made his own decision. I think just from seeing how that situation was handled, I think he was, at that point, ready to leave as well.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Lander revealed that most wrestlers in TNA are under per-appearance deals. Fans can check out her full comments by clicking here.
