Overview
- De Lander says she underwent two neck surgeries performed by WWE’s spinal surgeon, received medical clearance a few weeks ago, and clarified her procedure was a one-level C5–C6 fusion rather than a broken neck.
- She recounts TNA President Carlos Silva telling her the promotion was not comfortable with her wrestling and says no TNA medical evaluation or contact with her surgeon occurred before that decision.
- De Lander says she paid for both surgeries and physical therapy while off the road without a salary, noting an outstanding $9,000 medical bill, and emphasizes she was seeking guidance rather than reimbursement.
- She describes limited rehab support at TNA, says a higher-up suggested she message Steve Austin or Kurt Angle for advice, and notes a WWE doctor provided a return-to-ring protocol about a month ago; she believes the Chris Bey injury made TNA more risk-averse without improving care.
- TNA offered her a non-wrestling manager role, she requested a release, and Warner left in solidarity despite the company indicating it wanted to keep him, with both now free agents and no next promotion announced.
