Various: Steph De Lander Neck Injury Update, Pagano vs. Alberto El Patron for Mega Title & More Changes for AAA Guerra De Titanes Card, Indies

Steph De Lander Neck Injury Status Update

As noted before, Steph De Lander has been out of action for TNA Wrestling and the indies since this past September due to a neck injury and surgery.

A recent episode of The Commentary Booth podcast featured De Lander as the guest. One of the topics discussed included De Lander providing an update on her recovery from her neck injury.

“Good, feels good. Just a little cut [on my neck], I’ve got some bandages on it. I feel great. It’s been just about two weeks since since surgery now, and obviously I’ve got a long ways to go as far as recovery is concerned, but for two weeks post neck surgery, I’m feeling pretty good. When you hear neck surgery, you think worse case scenario. Obviously, neck injuries can be very, very dangerous. But luckily mine is kind of a preventative, like ‘Look, you’ve got this [nagging] neck issue. Let’s get it taken care of while we can, while you can recover, come back from it, be 100%,’ rather than waiting until it gets worse. So I’m feeling good, I’m happy I did it, on the road to recovery.”
