What happened between CM Punk and Lana?

Back when CM Punk was working on WWE Backstage, he posted a tweet about Lana that didn't sit well with her. Lana was involved in a controversial storyline with Bobby Lashley and Miro at the time.

Punk gave his thoughts on the angle on WWE Backstage, and it was clear he didn't like it much. Punk made fun of the storyline by pitching his own idea for its conclusion.

The former WWE Champion stated that Miro and Lashley would face a tag team managed by Lana at WrestleMania, with Lana being put in a shark cage. He added that the losers of the match would get Lana. Punk later posted a tweet as well, and referred to Lana as 'chica' in it. Lana hit back at Punk and dubbed his comments 'misogynistic'.

Fans weren't thrilled with Lana's backhanded jab back at Punk's tweet. Many took to the reply section to express their opinions on Lana's tweet:

CM Punk is currently an AEW regular while Lana doesn't work with WWE anymore

A lot has changed over the past year. Lana's storyline with Lashley and Miro ended abruptly on the road to WrestleMania. Miro came off the angle looking much worse as he lost most matches against Lashley.

Lana's on-screen angle with Lashley came to an end shortly after WrestleMania, ending with a divorce after Lana accidentally cost Lashley his WWE title match against Drew McIntyre. Lana worked in WWE for another year and was recently let go by the company. There's no concrete news on what's next for her.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
