Lana also opened up on the hate she received from fans on social media, and it's clear as day that it affected her a lot. The clip was shared by a fan on Twitter and received a response from AEW Chief Brand Officer, Brandi Rhodes. Rhodes told Lana that if she ever needs emotional support and someone to remind her that trolls on social media don't matter, she can reach out to her.

Lana had a hard time on social media over the past year or so
Back in late 2019, Lana and Bobby Lashley were involved in a romantic angle, with Rusev feuding with the duo. The storyline was heavily slammed by the WWE Universe, but some fans took it too far by harassing Lana on social media and being incredibly mean to her.
The angle didn't reach a satisfying conclusion, and Rusev was pulled from WWE TV earlier this year. He was released in April, soon after which Lana and Lashley split. Over the next few months, Lana received tons of backlash from fans, who kept reminding her that she should have been fired. Lana's WWE Chronicle gives a brutally honest look at what she was going through during that time and is a must-watch for fans.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
