I found a story from January about Rusev which shines some light on his firing yesterday. Apparently his contract was about up and let it be known he wasn't sticking around. His 5 best options: AEW, Japan, Impact, somewhere else or staying with WWE.

Interesting note about Lana:

Lana signed a new five-year contract with WWE late last year

My personal belief was that the only reason why they re-upped with Lana at all was so that it would make Rusev more inclined to stay where his wife was.

But now that they've effectively given up on that, I see no reason why they would keep her.

She's talent-less, and I could care less that she has some straight-to-video cash-grab film with Bruce Willis coming up. Nobody cares!

I completely agree with all that. WWE could fire her today and no one would notice or care.

She wasn't happy and wanted out, previously asking for her release.

Like some others in Rusev, the Revival and Mike Kanellis, be careful what you wish for.

WWE Rumors: Future Plans for 2-Night WrestleMania Events After WrestleMania 36
MIKE CHIARI
APRIL 25, 2020

This year's WrestleMania was a two-night event out of necessity, but WWE reportedly has no plans to go back to that format in the near future.

According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (h/t Felix Upton of Ringside News), WWE is currently planning for next year's WrestleMania 37 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, to be a one-night show on March 28.

This year's WrestleMania had been scheduled to be a one-night affair at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, but the coronavirus pandemic forced the company to move it to the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, with no fans in attendance.
