10 WWE Superstars With Surprising Degrees
10. Lana - Dance and Acting
If we cast our minds back to Lana's ill-fated singles run a few years ago, this makes a lot of sense.
Lana, real name Catherine Perry, debuted in NXT in 2013, aligning herself with future husband, Rusev.
The couple have been an on-screen pairing ever since and have been involved in many memorable moments. At one point, Lana was way more over than her husband. Then again, this was before anyone actually saw her wrestle.
Even before joining WWE, Lana was in the public eye. She gained serious exposure during her time at Florida State University, where she and her fellow female students cheered on their college football team whilst dressed as cowboys in the stands.
Lana had other reasons to be at Florida State apart from raising the blood pressure of the straight male audience.
She was studying acting and dance, the latter of which had been her passion from a young age. Before enrolling at FSU, Lana danced for some of the top institutions in the country, including the Martha Graham Center of Contemporary Dance, the oldest dance company of its kind in the world.
Lana would incorporate these skills into her wrestling persona, but, as we mentioned earlier, the less said about that the better.
