Bella used to appear with Lana on Total Divas on E. AEW star Miro had a great stint in WWE as Rusev. He was paired with his wife Lana back in the day when he made his debut in the company. He was recently interviewed on the Kurt Angle podcast and he spoke about how the late great WWE Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes had pitched the idea of pairing of Lana and Miro in WWE.
Miro opens up on Dusty Rhodes
Miro went on to reveal that it was Dusty Rhodes’ idea to pair Miro with Lana. The former WWE US Champion proceeded to lavish praise on Dusty Rhodes. The idea of them pairing up was also informed to Triple H and he had loved it. Rusev proceeded to adopt Lana as his social ambassador’ and the pairing was compared by WWE to Ivan and Ludmilla Drago from the 1985 film Rocky IV:
“The American Dream Dusty Rhodes. Dusty Rhodes is so brilliant. He was so smart. Dusty was so brilliant. Then CJ my wife, Lana, she had just gotten signed in May or something. We got to meet them, and then it was not two weeks later, Dusty found out she could speak perfect English and perfect Russian. They knew they had me. I feel like they were already kind of looking at me because I had this dark match with Dolph Ziggler that Triple H was there. He got to see and he asked who I was. From then on I think we just rode that gravy train because then CJ came in. We started doing promos together. When you’re in developmental, you just want to do funny stuff because everybody laughs. You get instant laughter. Then one day we’re told, ‘Hey guys, you should try something serious’, and we did. We did try something serious. We got inspiration from Rocky IV, Drago and Ludmilla. We rolled with that and Triple H loved it.”
In his final days as part of WWE roster, Miro was involved in a storyline with Lana, who had been involved in an on-screen romantic relationship with Bobby Lashley.
