Only time will reveal the true impact of Lana’s presence in AEW, but she has undoubtedly left an indelible mark on fans in her first appearance.
Miro’s Long-Awaited Wish Granted
For over two years, Lana had been absent from WWE and the wrestling scene. However, her husband, Miro, consistently referenced her in his promos, fueling speculation of her potential move to AEW.
In an interview, Miro expressed his desire to have his wife join him in All Elite Wrestling:
“I think me and CJ [Lana] have always been money since the beginning. We’ve done this everywhere. We’ve gone from reality shows to other professional wrestling television shows, even ‘Drop The Mic. We’ve done rapping shows and stuff like that. I know that this always works. But in my mind, The Redeemer’s mind, his wife is always there, so it’s a no-brainer for my gorgeous wife to join my team eventually.”
