WWE released several employees including WWE Superstars over the past couple of years. This started with the release of Superstars such as Chelsea Green and Mickie James. Lana and Miro were a part of those cuts eventually as well.
Back in June of last year, WWE held yet another round of cuts from the company and it featured several big names such as Braun Strowman and Lana. She was let go due to her lucrative contract with WWE, which Lana signed back in 2019.
For the majority of her time in WWE, Lana had been managing her real-life husband, Miro. Lana also accused WWE of making men feel more important than women.
While speaking on The Kurt Angle Show, Miro revealed that Triple H fought hard for Miro and Lana to get called up to the main roster together and be a pair on WWE television.
“There was a question if Lana was going to debut (on SmackDown with Rusev) because that was also another issue that we had with Vince,” said Miro. “Vince always loves his big monsters by themselves, and he thinks that the women take away from the heat, but thanks to Triple H, he fought for it. He believed in me and Lana as a unit, as a package. Thankfully to that, we debuted on SmackDown. We started doing the vignettes with CJ, which I thought was absolutely the better choice. I don’t think Rusev by himself would be as over without Lana being there. He was so much better.”
Miro already commented on Lana possibly joining AEW, as he noted that it is ultimately her decision. It remains to be seen whether Lana will join Miro in AEW or not.
