8 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Lana
1. Nuking Her Own Storyline
In the middle of the aforementioned Dolph Ziggler angle, Lana and Rusev made the seemingly insane decision to leak their real-life engagement to TMZ. Although the pair had fallen out in kayfabe, conflicting media reports seemed to suggest that they were going stronger than ever.
WWE were understandably annoyed, and pulled the plug on Ziggler's involvement. Lana was also yanked away from the angle, having injured her wrist, and it appeared as though the pair were going to find themselves in hot water.
Fast forward a few months, however, and Rusev is once again the US Champion, with Lana his partner both in and out of the ring. Perhaps this is an instance of WWE being outsmarted by their own talent - perhaps leaking the engagement and forcing the abortion of a terrible angle was the right decision after all - and if the company are likely to want us to forget anything about the Ravishing Russian, it is surely that.
