A former WWE NXT Superstar scored a massive win to become a double champion. She had previously won a title earlier this year in March.

The name in question is Steph De Lander (fka Persia Pirotta in WWE NXT). She returned to in-ring competition after two years at ACW Aftershock on March 14. At the show, she defeated J-Rod and Indi Hartwell in a triple threat match to become the new ACW Women’s Champion. She has yet to drop the title.

Earlier today, the 29-year-old wrestled Kaia McKenna for the Focus Pro Women’s Championship at the promotion’s All The Small Things Event. Steph De Lander put forth an impressive performance to emerge victorious and secure the gold. She recently shared a picture of herself holding the title on X (fka Twitter).

“AND NEW @FocusProWrestle WOMEN’S CHAMPION! 🏆 I told you this Comeback SZN is serious… 💰,” she wrote.

Former WWE star Steph De Lander shared an emotional message following a recent match

Exactly one month ago, Steph De Lander wrestled her first singles match following her return to the squared circle. She competed against Megan Bayne, and the two women put forth a highly engaging contest. Unfortunately, the bout ended in no contest after interference from Mance Warner.

After the match, Steph De Lander took to X (fka Twitter) to post pictures of herself showing off her battle scars. The former WWE Superstar noted an emotional message in the caption and claimed that she was eyeing the spot of the top female wrestler on the indies.

“Battered & bruised; a feeling I have missed oh so much. Last night I had my first singles match in 2 years against none other than @meganbayne – in my opinion, the measuring stick for current female wrestlers. Being on the sidelines didn’t stunt my growth as a wrestler, it lit a fire inside of me. I promised myself every single opportunity I got to lace my boots I would go out there & give it my all. The spot for top female wrestler on the indies is wide open, and it’s mine for the taking. #ComebackSZN,” Steph De Lander wrote.

Steph De Lander has been on an impressive run since her return to the squared circle. It will be interesting to see if any major wrestling promotion shows interest in signing her going forward.
