Professional wrestling career

It was reported on 14 March 2021 that De Landre was one of two Australian wrestlers signed by WWE. Under the ring name "Persia Pirotta", she made her NXT debut as the close friend of Indi Hartwell who had come all the way from Australia for Hartwell's wedding with Dexter Lumis.[9] On 26 October during the NXT: Halloween Havoc television special, Pirotta and Hartwell teamed again to compete in a Triple Threat Scareway To Hell Ladder match against Toxic Attraction (Gigi Dolin & Jacy Jayne) and the reigning NXT Women's Tag Team Champions Io Shirai & Zoey Stark, establishing herself as a face in the process.[10][11] She had her first victory in WWE on 16 November episode of NXT, defeating Gabby Stephens & Jenny Levy in a two-on-one handicap match.[12]

After she returned on January 2022,[13] Pirotta and Hartwell started a feud with Toxic Attraction which resulted in a match for women's tag team titles at Vengeance Day where they were unsuccessful in winning the match.[14] She was released by WWE in April 2022.[15]

In February 2023, De Landre made her debut for Impact Wrestling as "Steph De Lander", a tweaked version of her real name.[16] In her debut match, she established herself as a heel and faced Jordynne Grace in a losing effort.

Steph De Lander made her debut for All Elite Wrestling on AEW Dark as a heel and faced Marina Shafir in a losing effort.
