It's 2019, and not many people watching pro wrestling treat it as 100% real. If the industry was being honest about it, barely 0.1% watch episodes of Raw, look at Bobby Lashley kissing Rusev's real-life wife, believe it's a shoot and think, "That son of a bitch" or, "I'm gonna' write that cheating witch a nasty letter".

Apparently, 0.1% of people are morons.

Lana told ComicBook.com that she's actually been receiving death threats for her on screen behaviour as of late. Some are so incensed by the way she's treating Rusev that they've fired off angry rants that include warnings of physical violence and/or murder. Wow, 0.1% of fans. Wow.

A handful of threats were so seriously disturbing to Lana that the FBI were called upon to investigate the people responsible and protect the WWE star from harm. It's utterly insane to think this kind of sh*t is still going on these days.
