WWE took a shot at Miro through his wife, Lana
Many interpreted this as a statement to former WWE Superstar Miro (Rusev) who joined AEW a week ago. Lana is Miro’s wife, and many knew that there would be some sort of retaliation but this was an all-out assault. Analyst Vince Russo blasted Vince McMahon for this earlier today.
