“I got a text (from Vince). I definitely got emotional about it. It was just, like, goodbye for me. He thanked me for my incredible work ethic and for my unrelenting desire to be the best that I could be, and all the contributions I gave to WWE.”

“So that really meant a lot to me and I thanked him for everything that he’s taught me, ’cause I’ve learned so much – life lessons and performing. So I’m incredibly thankful.”

Lana also added that she would have liked to hug her former boss one last hug goodbye because she doesn’t know if she will ever see him again.

She may not have a lot of achievements to her name in the WWE. However, she remained very popular among the fans during her stint with them. She was actively part of major storylines and will be remebered by fans for giving her all every time she appeared on the screen.

Archie is a WWE and UFC Editor/Author at the SportsRush. Like most combat sports enthusiasts, his passion for watching people fight began with WWE when he witnessed a young Brock Lesnar massacre Hulk Hogan back in 2002. This very passion soon branched out to boxing and mixed martial arts. Over the years he fell in love with the theatrics that preceded the bell and the poetic carnage that followed after. Each bruise a story to tell, each wound a song of struggle, his greatest desire is to be there to witness it all. His favorite wrestler is Shawn Michaels and he believes that GSP is the greatest to ever step foot inside the octagon. Apart from wrestling, he is also fond of poetry and music.
