TNA Knockout announces she’s taking bookings again after long absence
Steph De Lander is back.
The 29-year-old TNA Knockout has been out of action since August 2024. She underwent neck fusion surgery that October but has since announced she’s been cleared to return. On Sunday, she posted to social media that she is now accepting bookings.

De Lander returned to TNA programming in January 2025 in a non-wrestling role. She even became the last official Digital Media Champion during this period, after she “won” the title by divorcing her former on-screen husband, PCO. Santino Marella would strip her of the title that April and replaced the belt with what is now the TNA International title. She has been accompanying her real-life husband Mance Warner to the ring in recent weeks.
Prior to signing with TNA in 2023, De Lander was with WWE as Persia Pirotta from March 2021 until her release in April 2022.
