8 Contenders To Replace Mick Foley As WWE RAW General Manager

3. Lana

Another left-field choice for the position of RAW General Manager could well be the wife and manager of Rusev, Lana. Last month Lana took to Twitter to lament the quality of RAW in comparison to SmackDown Live!, a move that drew a response from GM Foley. The Hardcore GM stated that Lana could apply for the position of his assistant and that the main job could well become available down the line. Was this some Twitter foreshadowing on the part of the two?

Just two years removed from seemingly being immensely high on Lana, the Ravishing Russian's stock in WWE has fallen somewhat. Rusev has since settled into his Haku-like position of being built up as unstoppable before being fed to the latest shiny toy, and Lana has become in many ways just another part of his act. The times of her being a breakout star seem long gone.

Lana's time in the doghouse may well be coming to an end however and the placement of her as RAW General Manager could see her character move to previously unseen highs. Mrs. Rusev has shown herself to be more than adept at putting together quality long-speaking segments, and what better way to ram home that RAW is the home of the women's revolution than by having a pair of strong women in positions of authority?
