Steve Carrier on January 27, 2026
Steph De Lander just made her most important update yet — and it’s not about speculation, it’s about clearance.
On January 27, 2026, the TNA Wrestling star took to social media and revealed that her neck is fully healed and that her surgeon has officially cleared her to return to the ring. The issue now isn’t her health — it’s finding the right medical guidance to safely transition back to wrestling. Earlier in the day, De Lander posted a direct message asking for assistance.
“Does anyone have a return to the ring protocol for a neck injury? Been trying to get one for 18 months.”
About an hour later, she followed up with a much clearer explanation of her situation, tagging multiple major wrestling promotions in the process.
“My neck is 100% healed and I have been cleared by my surgeon to return to the ring. I need guidance from a medical professional to ensure safety so I can get back to doing what I love. I have asked so many times. Can anyone help me @ThisIsTNA @WWE @AEW ???”
That statement confirms something fans have been waiting to hear for months: De Lander is no longer sidelined because of injury. She is medically cleared. What she’s now asking for is a structured return-to-ring protocol so she can resume wrestling safely after such a serious issue. This comes after a long and difficult road back. De Lander has been out of action since due to the neck injury. In late December, she shared her first post-surgery gym update, writing:
“First time back at my CrossFit gym since my surgeries. Claiming my life back one step at a time. Comeback loading… 😎”
Steph De Lander is cleared, motivated, and actively trying to find a safe path back into the ring. After everything she’s been through, the next chapter is no longer about recovery. It’s about opportunity.
Do you want to see Steph De Lander back in a TNA ring, or should another company step in and help guide her comeback?
