AEW superstar Miro has offered a comment on his real-life wife Lana getting put through tables on an almost weekly basis. The Bulgarian, who wrestled under the name Rusev for WWE, had previously admitted worry over his former employers possibly punishing Lana for the promo he cut on his AEW debut.

Speaking to Inside the Ropes on the issue, Miro expressed pride in his wife with a thinly-veiled swipe at WWE.
“I don’t book their shows, I have no idea," he said. "All I know is that she’s most likely tougher than anybody else on their roster because clearly that’s the first time in history that’s been done. And every single time, she gets the f**k up and keeps going, you know. She doesn’t say, ‘No.’ She doesn’t say, ‘I don’t want to do that.’ She doesn’t sell.
“She’s going out there and doing her job, and doing her job to perfection. Because you can see, in that ring, when she gets that time, you can see who’s who and who’s been working, and who’s been sitting on their a**es the whole time. And I’m so freaking proud of CJ, man, because she’s proven that she’s most likely the most talented and underrated person in the whole entire wrestling community.”
It's Not All Tables
Despite her table-filled ordeal, Lana is slowly moving up. Apart from her Battle Royal win, she's had a title match against Asuka and is on Team Raw for Survivor Series.
