Mance Warner: WWE, NXT, AEW, I Would Go To Any Of Them
Mance Warner discusses the possibility of joining WWE or AEW.
On March 4, Fightful Select reported that Mance Warner and Steph De Lander had quit TNA Wrestling and were now free agents. While the pair have made a handful of independent appearances since their exit, it appears that Warner is keeping his options open when it comes to signing with a major promotion.
Speaking to MuscleManMalcom on Muscle Memory, Mance Warner was asked whether he had any interest in joining WWE or AEW, to which he made it clear that he would be open to signing with either company.
“Here’s how I look at everything. I’m a pro wrestler. I love all the companies. I watch too much pro wrestling on TV. I see that people argue about they like this, don’t like that, I like it all. I turn on TV until Steph [De Lander] goes, ‘Alright, no more.’ And then I go upstairs and I watch WCW from 2001. I’m addicted to wrestling. So for me, WWE, NXT, AEW, I would go to any of them. There’s things that you could do at one you probably can’t do at another. I look at the roster. If I throw out some names, I think ol’ Mancer vs. Darby Allin would be pretty wild. I think ol’ Mancer and Gabe Kidd one more time would be pretty wild. Ol’ Mancer and Eddie Kingston. Jon Moxley, another one. On the other side, you got ol’ Mancer maybe against Kevin Owens. Sami Zayn. I would love to have a microphone against CM Punk. At the end of the day, whatever place wants ol’ Mancer to be ol’ Mancer, I’m cool with that.”

Following their departures from TNA Wrestling, the pair made their returns to GCW, with Steph De Lander claiming that she is not going to ‘let a businessman with a hat tell me when my career is over’.
The pair are not the only recent departures from TNA Wrestling, with reports recently revealing that the promotion have also granted Dani Luna her release. You can read more about that here.
