“You can’t soar with the eagles if you’re hanging with the turkeys.”
Lana posted a heartfelt message on Twitter thanking the fans who have supported her throughout her WWE career.
Lana was signed in 2013 by WWE. She spent most of her WWE career either managing or feuding with Rusev including a storyline with current WWE Champion Bobby Lashley. Lana and Lashley even had an in-ring wedding as part of the storyline.
In 2019, it was announced that Lana had extended her contract with the company on a multi-year deal, but WWE ended the deal before its completion.
Lana’s last appearance on WWE programming was this Monday Night on RAW. She teamed with Naomi to take on Mandy Rose and Dana Brooke. The pair were unable to win the match.
Rusev and Lana Journey
Rusev and Lana were a very popular on-screen, as well as off-screen, couple in WWE. The two worked together as well as rivals during their time with WWE and fans would love to see them reunite in AEW, where Miro is currently signed.
Lana later, entered the women’s tag team division, teaming with Natalya and later with Naomi. Her most interesting angle was with Nia Jax, who would put her through the commentary table on RAW for several consecutive weeks.
Meanwhile, Miro signed with AEW in September and is already the AEW TNT Champion. This past week at AEW Double or Nothing 2021, Miro successfully defended his title against Lance Archer.
Lana will most likely have a 90-day non-compete clause following her WWE release. She would possibly be considering a reunion with her husband once again on AEW in the coming months.
