Lana is what they call in the pro wrestling racket a "sh*t disturber": she seems to revel in the minutiae of social media drama, on which she engages in cyber cat fights and constantly subtweets WWE for treating Rusev as an afterthought.

Lana can also be described as a creative maverick; in a passive aggressive pièce de résistance, she tweeted on May 20 that she just loves "watching shows and seeing stories I wrote and pitched given to other people. This might be the 10th time this has happened in the past year."

The 10th time.

Has WWE even scripted 10 women's-centric storylines over the last 12 months?

The storyline leading to the WrestleMania 35 main event didn't require Lana's particular, not inconsiderable talents because she isn't a household name MMA submission specialist. Probably best to give that one to Ronda Rousey. Perhaps Lana pitched the talk show that Alexa Bliss came to host: A Moment of a Russian Accent, And Then A Moment Of An American Accent.

Or perhaps Lana pitched the seven-second dance break bit, before management realised.
