Known as Rusev in WWE, Miro is now part of All Elite Wrestling. His wife, Lana, chose to sign what was believed to be a five-year deal with WWE shortly before he left the company, and she's been booked in a weird way lately (for five weeks in a row, she's been put through a table, including during Monday's episode of RAW).
Some believe that the plan is for her to become a babyface, but if that's the case, it's seriously weird.
Regardless, during a recent interview with Inside The Ropes, Miro shared his thoughts on whether WWE is punishing Lana in response to his decision to sign with the rival company. "I don’t book their shows, I have no idea. All I know is that she’s most likely tougher than anybody else on their roster because clearly, that’s the first time in history that’s been done."
"And every single time, she gets the f**k up and keeps going, you know," Miro continued. "She doesn’t say, ‘No.’ She doesn’t say, ‘I don’t want to do that.’ She doesn’t sell."
"She’s going out there and doing her job, and doing her job to perfection. Because you can see, in that ring, when she gets that time, you can see who’s who and who’s been working, and who’s been sitting on their a***s the whole time. And I’m so freaking proud of CJ, man, because she’s proven that she’s most likely the most talented and underrated person in the whole entire wrestling community."
Time will tell what the plan is for Lana, because while some fans will want to see her get revenge on Nia Jax, it's hard to escape the feeling WWE is just being petty and punishing her for Miro's action.
What do you guys think?
