Lana Discusses How Vince McMahon’s Love Of Miro’s Heel Work Lead To The End Of Rusev Dary

Lana reveals all regarding the end of Rusev Day.

During a recent appearance on In The Kliq, Lana discussed a variety of topic including why Rusev Day had the rug pulled out from under it. Lana stated that Vince McMahon’s love for Miro as a heel led to the killing of Rusev Day.

The simplest way of putting it for all the listeners that might not be as familiar with wrestling is Vince McMahon was the director, the Steven Spielberg of our show,” Lana said. “…I think at the end of the day, Vince loves Miro as a villain.

So that was really the bottom line of the struggle was he wanted him to be his Bulgarian Brute, 300 pounds, crazy, killing. It was his company, still is, and that was his creative vision, and I think that was always the conflict of it all, really, to come down to the bottom line. I can have a ton of opinions, but it’s show business at the end of the day.”

After Rusev Day was over, Miro struggled to win over the fans and he was soon released from his contract. He has since become AEW TNT champion and is currently signed to the promotion.
