“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.
