5 Reasons why Superstars were "punished" on WWE TV

#3. WWE Superstar Lana is "punished" for leaking news of her engagement in the middle of a WWE storyline

Lana has been part of several storylines alongside her husband Rusev since the couple was aligned together on WWE TV back in 2013. When the duo was later promoted to the main roster, the couple was put into a storyline where Lana had left her husband and Rusev was set to marry Summer Rae.

This storyline had to be axed by WWE after the WWE Superstars became engaged in real life and leaked the news to TMZ. After leaving WWE, Rusev, who is now known as Miro in AEW, went on to confirm this news.

Miro later revealed on Talk is Jericho that Lana “sent that picture to the office and to some of the girls” and it was later leaked. This lead to Lana being part of an embarrassing backstage segment with The Rock where he belittled her and, despite it being known that she was engaged to Rusev, the Superstar claimed that the couple still had sexual relations.

Rusev was also punished by becoming a jobber for several months on WWE TV.
