Mance Warner, the hard-hitting “Southern Psycho,” made his ROH debut at its recent television tapings in Jacksonville. Fresh off his exit from TNA alongside real-life wife Steph De Lander, the veteran stepped into the ring for a singles match against Shane Taylor, whom he somehow surprisingly put over. Known for his gritty brawling style and intense promos, Warner’s arrival injects proven experience into ROH’s roster as the promotion continues expanding its ranks ahead of a rumored television deal.
37-year-old Warner, real name, trained under Billy Roc and debuted in 2015. He quickly made his mark on the independents, winning the IWA Mid-South Heavyweight Championship twice and the Tag Team titles with Zodiak before capturing the CZW World Heavyweight Championship at Cage of Death XX, and triumphing in the 2020 GCW Nick Gage Invitational deathmatch tournament. Later, he became GCW World Champion in 2024 and enjoyed tag-team success with Matthew Justice, which led him to sign with TNA, where his wife was already working.
