Another TNA Star On Verge Of Exit
Another TNA star will soon be a free agent.
While Tessa Blanchard recently made her return to TNA, several of the company’s wrestlers could be heading in the opposite direction. Interestingly, despite her return, Blanchard has since admitted she isn’t under contract.
In her first storyline, Blanchard is set to work with Jordynne Grace, even if it’s been reported that Grace isn’t happy about the situation. With regard to Grace, she’s expected to leave the company in early 2025 following her feud with Blanchard before joining WWE.
As reported by Fightful Select, the promotion could be about to lose another female star. According to the report, Steph De Lander will become a free agent at the end of the year although there is some interest within the company in keeping hold of her.
De Lander has previously worked in WWE under the name Persia Pirotta, although she was released in April 2022 after just a year with the company. Following her exit, the star headed out onto the independent scene before joining TNA.
De Lander hasn’t wrestled in several months after undergoing back surgery.
