• Real-Life Couple Quits TNA
In a surprising turn of events, real-life couple Mance Warner and Steph De Lander have reportedly walked away from TNA Wrestling. According to Fightful Select, the decision to quit was sparked by a major disagreement over De Lander’s health and her ability to compete.
The 29-year-old De Lander hasn’t wrestled a singles match since May 2024 while recovering from a serious neck injury. While TNA officials reportedly told her she would never be cleared to wrestle for them again, De Lander sought a second opinion from a specialist who works with WWE athletes.
After receiving a green light from that surgeon, she announced on social media that she was ready to return, but TNA stood by their original decision.
Frustrated by the situation, both she and Warner decided to leave the promotion. While TNA hasn’t commented yet, it is expected that the duo will finish up their remaining obligations after the current round of television tapings before officially becoming free agents.
• MJF Takes A Shot At WWE’s High Ticket Prices
During an interview with KVIA ABC-7 News, AEW World Champion MJF promoted tonight’s Dynamite in El Paso, Texas, and took a shot at WWE’s high ticket prices:
“You pay me the big bucks, I’m coming. There is a possibility I might be wrestling on that show, who’s to say? You never know. There might be a title defense in El Paso.
Unlike WWE, you don’t have to sell the soul of your firstborn to buy a ticket. There are normal prices. You go to AEWtix.com or Ticketmaster.com.
We don’t discriminate against poors, the same way the world champ does. I hate you people. Look, but somebody’s gotta pay daddy’s bills and that’s gonna be people like you, okay?”
MJF will defend the AEW World Championship against AEW Trios Champion Kevin Knight tonight on Dynamite.

With her tag team partner, Rhea Ripley, going after the WWE Women’s Championship, fans have been wondering what’s next for IYO SKY. Well, they finally have an answer: she will have a title match at WrestleMania 42.
Many noticed that IYO’s match against Giulia was pulled from a recent episode of SmackDown. According to Self Made Pro, that delay was completely intentional.
WWE decided to postpone the match for creative reasons, specifically so they could save the first-time showdown for the WrestleMania stage.
Instead of giving the match away on SmackDown, WWE wants to do Giulia vs. IYO SKY for the Women’s United States Championship at WrestleMania 42.
