Steph De Lander says she wrestled for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis during her WWE run.
Speaking with VICE Australia, De Lander shared her thoughts on living in Florida.
“Everyone has a gun,” she said. “It’s not like, ‘Who has it?’ It’s like, ‘Who doesn’t?’ When I’m on these dating apps, my questions are, ‘Are you allergic to cats?’ If they’re allergic to cats, I don’t reply. Do you have a gun? If they have a gun, I don’t want to know about it.
“Florida just passed a law that you can openly carry a gun without having a permit. Very normal way to live. I was watching the news the other day, and I was like, I can’t believe I live here. [Laughs] I can’t believe this is reality.
The interviewer brought up Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, and De Lander revealed that she wrestled for him. She detailed how DeSantis came to the WWE Performance Center for a private show.
“I’ve wrestled in front of him,” De Lander said. “I wrestled for DeSantis, yeah. I did meet him. He came to the PC once. We got called in on a Saturday, that Ron DeSantis wanted to have a wrestling show for his kids, so him and his family came in, and they say front row. We all beat each other up on a Saturday morning because he wanted to take his kids to see the wrestling.”
De Lander also noted that if DeSantis wins the 2024 election, she’ll have wrestled in front of the president.
