In her first interview after being released in April, Lana appeared on Talk is Jericho to talk about her WWE career – recalling how she was “personally” blamed for someone leaking a picture of her and Rusev’s engagement to TMZ while they were feuding, and how she was taken off TV for three months as punishment. She said her release came as a complete shock, but she’s had “different things in wrestling” offered since, and she’s been “ big part of [Miro’s] success behind closed doors in AEW”.
