Steph De Lander and Mance Warner will be in Reading, Pennsylvania, this Saturday for AEW and Ring of Honor bookings.
The married couple was booked for New South Pro Wrestling in Millbrook, Alabama, for Aug. 22. However, the promotion announced that they would not be appearing at the show. New opponents for their scheduled matches would be announced later.
We have just been informed that both Mance Warner and SDL have been called to be at AEW Collision/ROH tapings this Saturday in Reading, PA, and will not be at Millbrook Reloaded.
We never want to get in the way of a pro wrestler’s career when it comes to national television opportunities and wish them the best of luck. You will see both Mance and SDL at New South Pro Wrestling as soon as it works for all parties!

De Lander is scheduled to face Deonna Purrazzo for the ROH Women’s Pure Title at 2300 Arena on Friday. Collision will be taped live a day later.
This isn’t the first time Warner has been pulled from an independent booking. In May, AAW Wrestling stated that Warner was pulled from one of their events at AEW’s request. Tony Khan refuted that claim, and Warner clarified that AEW did not pull him. Warner claimed that his rate for the AAW event was never agreed to, and he decided to pull out of the show to avoid any potential travel issues that could have conflicted with an AEW/ROH booking he had that weekend.
Warner’s last ROH appearance was in a match against Matt Menard that aired on July 9 and was taped at WJCT Studios in Jacksonville.
