There have been a lot of chatters regarding Steph De Lander and her neck injury given how it was revealed on TV at TNA’s Victory Road. With many questioning the legitimacy of the situation, the former WWE Superstar herself had to take social media to give some clarification about the injury being real and that she needed surgery to fix things.
Last night, Steph De Lander further took to her X handle to share an update on the surgery being successful. It appears that the operation went down on October 17 and it was successful. In a fitting caption, the Australian wrestling talent humorously stated that she now has a “brand new neck” and a BBL while she was during the surgical procedure,
“I slipped the surgeon some extra cash under the table & told him to give me a BBL … not really, but I do has a fresh neck & a bowl of mashed potatoes.”
