Mance Warner makes TNA debut on Impact

Mance Warner made his debut in TNA on Thursday’s live Impact alongside new Digital Media Champion Steph De Lander.

After weeks of vignettes with the number 23 on Impact, the teases came to a head on Thursday’s live episode, with De Lander entering and interrupting Sami Callihan.

As Callihan demanded answers as to the identity of 23, De Lander announced that she had become TNA Digital Media Champion, winning the title in a divorce from her storyline husband PCO. De Lander then introduced Warner as her boyfriend. Warner laid out Callihan, then De Lander and Warner made out to close the segment.

A former GCW mainstay and CZW regular, Warner dropped the GCW World title at this past weekend’s Hammerstein Ballroom event, indicating that he may be on the move.

Aside from a brief cup of coffee with AEW in 2022 (two matches), Impact is the largest stage on which Warner has worked.
