Why did WWE legend The Rock claim to have a secret fling with Lana? Know the truth

WWE legend Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson made headlines when he claimed to have had a secret fling with Lana, the then-on-screen manager of former WWE star Rusev (currently Miro in AEW).

However, the erstwhile Rusev revealed that this was nothing more than a fabricated story to get back at him. The incident took place on October 6, 2014, when The Rock made a return to RAW in New York and confronted Miro and Lana.

The confrontation quickly escalated, with The People's Champion physically engaging with the AEW star. Two years later, backstage, he joked about having a romantic encounter with Lana at a hotel.

In a recent interview on talkSPORT, Miro expressed his thoughts on the matter, suggesting that the former WWE Champion cooked up the story of an affair to seek revenge for their previous encounter in New York.

According to him, The Great One resorted to speaking ill of Lana and imagining things as a means of retaliation.

“The first one was better, the one in Brooklyn. He showed up out of nowhere, we had a little talk and scuffle. I think that left a sour taste in his mouth. Even though he beat me up a little bit, I got the better of him. Maybe he was just sour about that so he had to come back and talk bad about Lana, imagining things," Miro said.

It should be noted that Lana and Miro are married in real life. The two stars were released from WWE during the COVID-19 pandemic. Miro has since joined AEW and is one of the top stars in the promotion.
