How Miro felt about being released from WWE

During an appearance on Kurt Angle’s podcast, former WWE star Miro aka Rusev talked about being released from WWE…

“I was so happy. Like, I kind of lost it for 30 seconds. The whole pandemic thing was happening, and we were just trying to fight for some kind of rights, you know, because it’s not right that we have to fly every week to TV in all these circumstances without anybody caring. I just didn’t think it was right. We were in a little group text that got leaked out to the office. Somebody leaked that we were doing this. It’s not even a plot. We’re just talking among ourselves. How can we bring that to the office? It leaked out that we were on it, and I think a few days later I was released. I lost it for a little bit because I was more concerned about the health and the safety protocol. I got released, but I was so happy because I knew right away that I’m going to go and do what I know I can do. I never had any doubts how good I am, and if your company doesn’t appreciate me, I’m going to go find a different company that does.”

Miro also talked about how him and Lana started dating…

“We were friends. We shared a connection. She grew up in Latvian for 12 years, which is, you know, Eastern Block, kind of the same mentality, dealing with the same crazy coaches yelling at you cursing each other and all that. So she’d been to Bulgaria. We share a lot of experiences. We talk Russian to each other as well. I said from the beginning I don’t want to complicate this. First of all, she’s out of my league, clearly, so I don’t want to even try to get my heart broken. I’m just gonna be friends with her. We’re gonna have a professional level and that’s it. But, you know, a week or two, a month came in, we started texting more and more. And one thing led to the other, and here we go.”
