Mance Warner, Steph De Lander Off Indie Card For AEW TV

ByMike ReichlinProfessional Wrestling Journalist

Mance Warner and Steph De Lander have been pulled from New South Pro Wrestling’s Millbrook Reloaded card. AEW has called both up for Collision and ROH television tapings this Saturday in Reading, Pennsylvania.

New South Pro Wrestling announced the news on X on Monday, saying it doesn’t want to stand in the way of a wrestler’s national television opportunities and wishing Warner and De Lander well.

The Alabama-based promotion said it will find a new opponent for Kelsey Raegan and is searching for a fourth member of Team New South, joining Dump Sanders, Big Dave and Shean Christopher, for the Atomic Warfare 4-on-4 cage match against The Program’s Tim Bosby, Jamesen Shook, Erron Wade and Kohnor Martin.

Warner and De Lander have been regular fixtures on ROH television since leaving TNA earlier this year. De Lander is also set to challenge Deonna Purrazzo for the ROH Women’s Pure Championship at ROH Death Before Dishonor on Friday, two days before the Reading taping.

This isn’t the first time Warner has run into a scheduling conflict between AEW and an independent date. Tony Khan denied in May that AEW was blocking him from working an AAW event in Chicago, saying Warner was welcome to work the show.

Tickets for Millbrook Reloaded remain on sale through Friday at 8 p.m., moved up because of a scheduled appearance on WSFA 12’s Montgomery morning news show. Tickets are available at newsouthpro.ticketspice.com.
