Lana On Signing A WWE Legends Deal: I Absolutely Understand That There’s A Huge Difference Between The Character Lana And Randy Savage On The Legend Scale

Lana discusses having a WWE legends deal, noting that she was shocked by it.

Following her release from the WWE in 2021, Lana would step away from the wrestling industry until she signed with AEW in 2023, serving as a manager in the company for a brief period before leaving the company alongside her husband Rusev. Upon Rusev being re-signed to WWE, Lana would also sign a WWE legends contract.

While speaking on Insight With Chris Van Vliet, Lana spoke about recently signing a WWE legends deal and the reaction to the announcement.

“I’m still processing it. It’s funny, because I would say it’s been kind of controversial. One of the biggest things that I had on my podcast last week was announcing that I’m a WWE legend, and you thought I stole their Christmas presents or something, people were so mad. People were like, it’s a stretch, and they’re fighting, and then other fans are coming in and defending me. So I just want to acknowledge I understand, I was that shocked too. I absolutely understand that there’s a huge difference between the character Lana and Randy Savage on the legend scale. I get it, but this is what WWE calls their contracts, being a full WWE superstar. My agent called me. I was crying. I was shocked. Yeah, they gave Miro a contract, and they gave me the WWE legend contract at the same time.”
