WWE: Lana’s Message Just Before Release Has Fans Chiming In

WWE Superstar Lana the six wrestlers released from their contracts on Wednesday, and her messages posted just before the reveal have fans talking. The release caught many wrestling fans off-guard, as Lana was a regular on Raw each Monday night. While Lana (real Name CJ Perry) never won a championship during her time in the company, Lana had large following, which started when she was the manager of her husband Rusev (now known as Miro in AEW).

“Be who you are and say what you feel, because in the end those who matter don’t mind and those who mind don’t matter,” Lana wrote on Twitter the day before her release from WWE. It’s not clear as to what that means, but it’s possible she could have known a release was coming.

Lana, 36, started her WWE career in 2013 as a manager. She then began competing in 2016 and was recently teamed up with Naomi, a two-time winner of the SmackDown Women’s Championship. The pair recently competed for the Women’s Tag Team Championship but came up short. Now that Lana is no longer a part of WWE, will she join her husband (who goes by Miro) at AEW? Could we see her in more films since she’s been featured in Pitch Perfect, Pitch Perfect 2 and Cosmic Sun? Here’s a look at fans reacting to Lana’s message.

​

One fan wrote: “Thank you for everything Lana. You we’re amazing, Shame that wwe released you when you and Naomi were going for the tag titles and were doing amazing.”

​

Another fan added: “To see how far you’ve come and improved over the past year has been nothing short of amazing. Please keep going because you’re only going to get better and better! Thank you ‘Lana!’”

​

“This group of releases for some reason has hit me the hardest & made me see how much more of a ‘business”‘ this is than fun,” one fan wrote. “It’s bothering me greatly and I’m hoping to still enjoy wrestling with the same passion again. All six of these people embody the love & dedication we do.”

​

“The progress you’ve made in improving your in ring work has been inspirational,” a Twitter user stated. “You’re a great and energetic talent and I’m sure you’ll land on your feet.”

​

A social media user wrote: “Will greatly miss seeing you on WWE, but you’re incredibly talented and I’m confident you will succeed in whatever you do next.”

​

“I want to see you and Adam show up on AEW like the way Scott Hall and Kevin Nash did on WCW,” one fan admitted. “Throw some miro in there… Some omega… It’s gonna be wild.”

​

And this fan thinks WWE will regret releasing Lana. The person wrote: “WWE made a huge mistake letting you go. I hope you go to AEW and get to be reunited with Miro.”
