8 WWE Superstars released this year who will go on to be stars elsewhere

#2. Lana

Lana first appeared in WWE as the crazy Russian manager of her husband Rusev. Her fierce accent and stunning looks really made her character someone that the WWE universe wanted to see.

Once she started to train to become an in-ring star, her character really started to develop. Eventually, her accent dropped but she was still tied to her husband for most of her time there.

I will never forget the fans, and the love they showed me. Whether it was a tank, power-suits, flags, CRUSH, Rusev, 900 partners, weddings or tables: I tried to always entertain you, and you definitely elevated me. Thank you. pic.twitter.com/n7W5i5KAMI

She gave her all to WWE and really put in the work to be a successful star instead of just another pretty face on the screen, but she never seemed to stick.

Lana whose real name is CJ Perry has a very strong acting background and has even appeared in movies for WWE. If Lana wanted to, she could make a career out of acting or even social media due to her strong presence there

Since her husband is signed to AEW, it would be nice to see the two teaming up together once again. This time with their creative freedoms, they could really do some great work together.

I’d like to choose today, for no reason, to congratulate my husband @ToBeMiro on becoming AEW TNT Champion

If she does stay in wrestling, she could become a huge on-screen personality for AEW. Miro is currently the TNT Champion for AEW and with her addition to the roster; it would do nothing but help his character as well.
