Steph De Lander Returns To TNA With Mance Warner, Reveals She’s The New Digital Media Champion

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.

Steph De Lander Provides Update On Neck Surgery

Steph De Lander has provided an update on her recovery from neck surgery.

While appearing on “The Commentary Booth” podcast, the TNA Impact star revealed that she “feels great” two weeks after the procedure. She said,

“Good, feels good. Just a little cut [on my neck], I’ve got some bandages on it. I feel great. It’s been just about two weeks since since surgery now, and obviously I’ve got a long ways to go as far as recovery is concerned, but for two weeks post neck surgery, I’m feeling pretty good.”

She continued, “When you hear neck surgery, you think worse case scenario. Obviously, neck injuries can be very, very dangerous. But luckily mine is kind of a preventative, like ‘Look, you’ve got this [nagging] neck issue. Let’s get it taken care of while we can, while you can recover, come back from it, be 100%,’ rather than waiting until it gets worse. So I’m feeling good, I’m happy I did it, on the road to recovery.”

Behind-the-scenes of Matt Cardona and Steph De Lander’s Ghostbusters entrance, full ‘Deathmatch Busters’ theme song released

This past weekend’s GCW Homecoming event wich saw Matt Cardona and Steph De Lander appearing in Ghostbusters uniforms, even making their entrance inside a replica Ecto-1, Ghostbusters News has been provided a behind-the-scenes look at the blood-soaked carnage, in addition to the spoof theme song, “Deathmatch Busters” now being available online.

When it came to the WrestleMania-quality entrance, Cardona, the former Long Island Iced-Z, went local, enlisting the services of the Ecto-1 NJ, a fan car that’s become a staple of the annual Ghostbusters Day celebration at New York City’s Hook & Ladder 8, even being set to host film location tours this fall.

Instagram user and master builder behind the replica, Ectotech, reached out to Ghostbusters News, sharing a handful of photos and videos, mentioning that while the car was transported on a trailer, getting it to the arena was anything but easy. As the bell time loomed, traffic was said to have slowed thanks to those in surrounding vehicles attempting to grab photos. Luckily, the Ectombile arrived, was unloaded, and driven to the arena in time for Cardona and De Lander’s match, with the duo, known as Deathmatch Royalty, having a gruesome brawl with Nick Gage and Maki Itoh.

Another talking point coming out of the event was Cardona and De Lander’s entrance theme song. An obvious spoof on Ray Parker Jr.’s 1984 chart-topper, soon after the match, it was revealed that Downstait was the band behind “Deathmatch Busters,” with the song now being made available through SoundCloud.
