Steph De Lander provides injury update

TNA Impact star Steph De Lander recently shared an encouraging update on her recovery from neck surgery. Speaking on The Commentary Booth podcast, De Lander opened up about her progress, noting that she’s feeling better than expected just two weeks after the procedure. While recovery from neck surgery can be complex, De Lander expressed optimism about her progress and relief at addressing her health proactively.

Two weeks into her recovery, De Lander reported, “I feel great.” While she’s still in the early stages of healing, she noted that her initial progress has been promising. The procedure left her with a small incision, currently covered with bandages, but no complications have emerged. As she expressed, taking preventive action was a vital step to ensure her long-term health, allowing her to focus on a safe return to the ring.

Why Neck Surgery Was Necessary

In her podcast appearance, De Lander explained that her surgery was a preventative measure to address a nagging neck issue that could have worsened over time. “Neck injuries can be very, very dangerous,” she said, highlighting the need to manage such issues before they become serious.

By opting for surgery now, she hopes to avoid more significant injuries in the future and aim for a full recovery. Although feeling well just weeks after surgery, De Lander acknowledged that her road to full recovery is ongoing.

What’s Next for Steph De Lander?

As De Lander continues her recovery, fans eagerly await updates on her return to TNA. Her successful surgery marks an important step, and she’s determined to make a comeback.

It is not known when she will be returning to TNA, but it is likely going to be well into 2025 at this point.

Steph De Lander Shares Update After Neck Fusion Surgery

TNA Wrestling star Steph De Lander is officially on the mend following neck fusion surgery. De Lander surprised fans at Victory Road in September when she disclosed her neck injury and announced that surgery would be necessary, an operation that would involve the fusion of her C5 and C6 vertebrae.

This week, De Lander shared a positive update on social media, humorously noting that she now has a “brand new neck.” The former WWE NXT Superstar jokingly adding that she might as well have gotten a BBL while she was at it.

De Lander previously shared that she expects to be out of action for at least six months, meaning she will miss the remainder of 2024. Fans are already eagerly anticipating her return to the ring once she’s fully healed. De Lander’s work alongside ‘Indy God’ Matt Cardona has proven to be a hit with fans, as the two often assist one another in matches and rile up fans.

Injuries are an occupational hazard for any professional wrestler and right now, De Lander is prioritizing her long-term health by focusing on getting fully healed. We here at eWrestlingNews would like to wish Steph De Lander a full and speedy recovery.

Steph De Lander Set for Neck Fusion Surgery, Out of Action for Six Months

Ahead of TNA Victory Road 2024, Steph De Lander revealed that she will be undergoing neck fusion surgery, nixing plans for a tag-team match on the pay-per-view. Appearing on the That’s Cooked podcast, De Lander gave details about her upcoming operation and how long she expects to be out of the ring.

“It’s going to be a fusion of a C5-C6. Is it career-ending? Absolutely not. How long am I going to be out? Probably six-plus months, maybe a little bit longer, and that’s just the way it is.”

De Lander has spoken with other wrestlers who’ve undergone neck fusion surgery, who have gushed about feeling “like a million bucks” after the operation. The TNA star admitted to being relieved to hear this, stating “People have really positive experiences, which is what I need to hear.”

C5-C6 Neck Fusion Surgery

The type of surgery De Lander is set to undergo aims to treat compression of the spinal cord and nerve roots and is typically used when non-invasive methods have failed. In 2022, Robert Roode underwent surgery on his C5 and C6 vertebrae and can be found these days working as a producer for WWE. While Roode hasn’t wrestled for WWE in years, he is greenlit to compete, proving that this surgery is not a career-ender.

De Lander’s career has risen quickly over the past few years, thanks in part to her partnership with ‘Indy God’ Matt Cardona. Now, the former WWE NXT Superstar is prioritizing her health and well-being, and we here at SEScoops would like to wish Steph De Lander the very best in her neck fusion surgery and her recovery.

Steph De Lander Sees WWE Return As Her Destination But She’s In No Rush

WWE released a lot of people over the past year or so, including Persia Pirotta. Although that was the end of the road for her in NXT, she did not let that stop her from carrying on in her pro wrestling journey.

Steph De Lander Wants A WWE Return

Now going as Steph De Lander, she still has aspirations for a WWE return. Although her stint in WWE was brief, De Lander has been establishing herself on the independent circuit as the “Indy Goddess” alongside Matt Cardona following her release in 2022.

In a recent interview on the Insight podcast with Chris Van Vliet, the former WWE NXT Superstar shared her immediate thoughts on her WWE departure. She expressed that while returning to WWE is indeed a long-term goal, she is currently in no hurry to re-enter that system.

“I think that’s definitely the end goal, but it’s not like I’m rushing to get there,” De Lander admitted during the interview. She then said that she had a “mentality switch,” and that’s when things started coming together for her.

When I first got released, the first thing I did was I texted Matt Bloom, I said, How do I get my job back? I got him on the phone, I said, What do I need to do? I spent the next couple of weeks like what’s going on? How do we undo this? Then I thought about and I would dream about it all the time, and it was this unhealthy obsession with all I want to do is get back there,”

“Once I kind of let go of that, and I made peace with what I was doing. I realized if I do the indies begrudgingly, and I do it dragging my feet, and I do it not really enjoying it, always looking to the next thing, I’m not going to have fun, and I’m not going to put out my best work. So I kind of had to pack up that WWE box and put it away and really focus on what I was doing. Then have the faith and know that if I do what I need to do, and I work really hard and I commit fully to this. The end result will be I be getting new interest from WWE and from elsewhere, which I have, because of how hot our act is.”

Matt Cardona & Steph De Lander

Matt Cardona and Steph De Lander have been raking up dates on the indie scene, and they’re a bookable pair. She has also been privileged to work with someone like the former Zack Ryder, who was able to make the most out of the indie wrestling scene after his own WWE release, which could be looked at as a blueprint for how that process should be done in a lot of ways.

While De Lander’s desire to make a WWE return proves that the company is the preferred destination for many, the fact that she is so busy on the indies is proof that there is a lot more out there in the world for pro wrestlers.

Steph De Lander: Matt Cardona & I Are Equal Partners, We’re Always Thinking Up Big Plans

Steph De Lander is excited for what’s to come in the coming year and has big plans for herself and Matt Cardona. 

The 26-year-old wrestler has become a force to be reckoned on the independent scene following her release from WWE NXT in 2021. Currently, she holds the Premier Women’s World Championship and has been dubbed the Women’s Internet Champion by Matt Cardona. 

Steph De Lander on Working with Matt Cardona

De Lander and Cardona are often a double act on the independents and can often be found aiding the other in matches. Speaking on the Insight podcast, De Lander revealed how she and Cardona came to be working together. 

“We were on a tour in Australia, I think in March of this year, for World Series Wrestling and he came up to me. We’d met each other once before but it was a hi and bye. But he came up to me and said ‘Hey, I have a question to ask you.’ And instantly, I’m going I’ve done something wrong. I’ve s***-talked someone, I’ve buried myself somehow. I’m about to get yelled at. Instantly it was like, this is negative.

“And he goes ‘Do you want to work with me on the indies? Do you want to be my heater?’ Are you serious? [Chelsea Green had recently re-signed with WWE] and he’s going what’s next? Actually, before he said that, he asks ‘Question, are you signed anywhere?’ I said no and he said ‘Perfect.'”

Cardona was willing to give De Lander time to think it over, but the Australian wrestler wasted no time in answering. 

“[I tell him] Yes, 1000% yes. He goes ‘You can take some time to think it over.’ There’s nothing to think about. What are you talking about?”

What’s Next for Steph De Lander? 

After a banner 2023, which saw De Lander become the first independent act to grace PWI’s cover in decades, the young wrestler is excited for what’s next. On the show, De Lander explained how she and Cardona aren’t planning on resting on their current success. 

“Winding down the year and going into the next year, it’s common for everyone to get kind of reflective. We’ve both been sitting here going ‘Wow, we had such an amazing year. What are we doing next year?’ Because if you’re not going up you start going down. So we’re already brainstorming. Certain places we want to go that we haven’t wrestled at yet. Different countries we want to go to. What can we add to our act? What can we maximize for our social media? What can we be doing more of?

“Him and I are always thinking of what’s next and what we can be doing more of and we’re never getting complacent. I think that’s why this pairing has worked so well. It’s not one person steering the ship and dragging the other person along. It is a very equal [partnership]. We’re both super motivated.”

De Lander’s most recent match saw her work an MLW Reload taping, where she defeated Good Brother #3 (Mance Warner.)
