9. Will Lana Continue To Reintegrate Into Storylines?
After a lengthy absence from WWE television, Lana returned to Raw last week, confronting and mocking Brie Bella. The return was interesting in that it wasnt announced and it wasnt done alongside her real-life and storyline fiancé, Rusev. Instead, Lana showed up backstage to give Brie grief about her Fastlane loss to Charlotte. Bellas response was appropriate, telling the Ravishing Russian that until she can back up what she says in the ring, she should keep her mouth shut. Unless Lana is going to suddenly start managing another female wrestler, youve got to imagine this is setting up her much-rumored in-ring debut. Theres no guarantee that this is leading to some kind of big push for Lana. In fact, it could simply be WWE trying to get something out of Lana after they completely throttled back on her meteoric rise last year. If she debuts and jobs out in record fashion, well have our answer.
