Steph De Lander made her impactful return to TNA on Thursday night, shaking things up with a bold statement—and a brand-new championship reign. De Lander revealed herself as the mastermind behind the cryptic “23” vignettes that aired during recent PCO and Sami Callihan matches and announced that she is now the Digital Media Champion.
Her return wasn’t a solo act, either. De Lander arrived alongside Mance Warner, who immediately made his presence felt by attacking Sami Callihan during the segment. The return also put an end to speculation surrounding the mysterious vignettes, with De Lander confirming they were all part of her plan.
The Digital Media Title Drama Continues
De Lander’s claim to the Digital Media Championship stems from her ties to PCO, the title’s previous holder. She revealed that the championship became hers as part of her “divorce” from PCO. This development comes after weeks of controversy surrounding the title, including PCO’s headline-making moment at The People vs. GCW, where he destroyed the championship with a sledgehammer in what was reportedly an unsanctioned move that caught TNA officials off guard.
PCO’s chaotic antics seem to have officially ended his time with the promotion. His profile has been removed from TNA’s website, confirming his departure.
De Lander’s Comeback Story
Steph De Lander’s return to TNA marks her first appearance since Victory Road in September, where she announced that she needed to step away for neck surgery. After months of recovery, De Lander is back and making waves, proving she hasn’t lost a step in her time away.
Bringing in Mance Warner as her new ally signals a fresh direction for De Lander, whose new title reign adds even more intrigue to the Digital Media Championship’s already wild history. The dynamic between Warner and De Lander promises to be a storyline worth watching as they aim to dominate TNA together.
What’s Next?
De Lander’s return and Callihan’s attack by Mance Warner set the stage for some heated confrontations in the weeks to come. Meanwhile, with PCO officially out of TNA, the Digital Media Championship is poised to have a new chapter under De Lander’s reign.
The only certainty? With Steph De Lander back and Mance Warner at her side, chaos is bound to follow.
