Lana Suffered Breakdown After Hateful Messages
Back in April, WWE, like many companies, had to let of a large portion of their staff. Many of the names were backstage folk, but some were current wrestlers featured on TV.
Many of the wrestlers let go were considered bottom tier, although Rusev was also sent packing. At the time, Rusev was working on a new deal with WWE.
In the end, Rusev (now going by Miro) was gone and he joined AEW. His wife, Lana, remains part of WWE and took the split hard.
Lana noted how she went traveling with Miro 24/7, to them working for different companies and seeing less of each other. She described the transition during the newest WWE Network Chronicle special.
She got emotional and spoke about mental distress, especially after reading comments on social media. Fans would send rude comments, wishing she was released by WWE and not Miro.
“Everyone’s just so mean,” said Lana. “I couldn’t handle it anymore because that’ my only interaction with human beings is my Instagram account or Twitter.”

Wrestlers Send Lana Love After Hateful Messages
Highly recommend @LanaWWE ‘s Chronicle. She’s had to overcome so much and she’s never given up. We could all stand to learn a little something from her. 💕

I saw a clip going around and I agree. I don’t know Lana but I think that was brave to be so vulnerable and hopefully people keep in mind, that the people that they think are strong, public personalities or “perfect” are human too. ❤️ https://t.co/JMd80ZPDX9

100% and seeing her handle the criticisms and the hurdles, she’s never wavered in her goals.

For the past two months, Lana has been put through a table by Nia Jax. The idea is to help make her a popular face.
Also, some think she could finally get revenge tonight at Survivor Series. While Lana is part of Team RAW, some speculate she will put Nia through a table tonight.
As for Miro, he is doing okay in AEW. He does have more freedom than in WWE, but he seems to be lacking a major program.
