Steph De Lander opened up about her pairing with Matt Cardona

Steph De Lander recently discussed her successful pairing with Matt Cardona on the independent circuit.

In an interview with Pario Magazine, Lander mentioned Cardona pitched for them to join forces. She also described being pleased with the opportunity.

“During the tour, he [Cardona] came up to me & said he had a question for me. Instantly the anxiety in my hand had me thinking, ‘What have I done, this is bad.’ But then he asked how I felt about teaming with him on the indies and being his ‘heater.’ In my head, I thought, 'Wow, this is a huge opportunity. Surely this can’t be real."

Lander added that she was inactive in the pro wrestling scene for six months following her WWE release in April 2022.

“I was meant to stay in Australia a few extra days to spend time with my family, but there was a GCW [event] that weekend, so I thought about it and knew I’ve got to go (…) This year especially is about my career because I took six months off after being released, so now I really have to make that decision and really get the ball rolling.”

Steph De Lander was recently presented with the Women's Internet Championship by Matt Cardona. It will be interesting to see if the duo will continue to dominate the independent circuit.
