Stephanie De Landre is an Australian professional wrestler, also known as Steph De Lander to many wrestling fans.
She is very highly rated on the independent scene & has recently appeared on AEW & TNA. Steph has been a part of many promotions including WWE, Melbourne City Wrestling & World Series Wrestling.
With over 150 matches under her belt, she is already an experienced wrestler in the ring. Fighting against many superstars such as Jordynne Grace, Indi Hartwell, Dakota Kai & Willow Nightingale.
Up until 2021, Steph competed in the independent scene before making her debut on NXT. In her debut match she teamed up with fellow Australian ‘Indi Hartwell’ in a tag team match. She was one of two Australian wrestlers signed by WWE. Under the ring name Persia Pirotta, her first victory in WWE came on the 16th of November episode of NXT, defeating Gabby Stephens and Jenny Levy in a two-on-one handicap match.
Unfortunately, in 2022, her time at WWE came to an end.
However, this would not stop the very talented superstar. In February 2023, De Landre made her debut for Impact Wrestling as “Steph De Lander”, a slightly different version of her real name. In her debut match, on 9 February episode of Impact, she established herself as a heel and faced Jordynne Grace. This rivalry would continue further as Steph returned to TNA and participated in a fatal four-way match to become the number one contender of the Knockouts Championship (which Jordynne Grace holds currently).
This match is going to be one to remember, both have huge abilities and are powerhouses in the field.
Steph has been involved in so many great matches, one of my favourites was her match against Erica Leigh at Virginia Championship Wrestling, where she came out winner and showcased her talent as a heel.
During her time in the wrestling scene, she has achieved many accomplishments including…
- Melbourne City Wrestling – MCW Women’s Championship x 1 and MCW Women’s Championship Invitational Tournament in 2019.
- Newcastle Pro Wrestling -Newy Pro Women’s Championship x 1 and Newy Pro Invictus Tournament Winner in 2020.
- Premier Streaming Network – Premier Women’s World Championship x 1
- Venom Pro Wrestling – VPW Women’s Championship x 1
- World Series Wrestling – WSW Women’s Championship x 1
- Women’s Internet Champion x 1
With her title match against Jordynne Grace coming up soon, can she add another title to her list of accolades?
Steph has a unique ability to capture the crowd and play the part that is needed, I am looking forward to seeing what she can achieve in the near future.
