Everybody's favourite Russian that is really American has burst onto the scene this year as the spokeswoman/manager for the dominant Russian that's really Bulgarian, Rusev. Lana is a very good talker that has really grown into the role. The way she fires off her "shut up" catchphrase is usually pretty funny even if it's not supposed to be. Some people look lost when they do promos. Not her. She doesn't forget her lines. She looks like she belongs. When The Rock showed up on Raw as a surprise in October, he confronted Rusev and Lana. That was a moment in time where Lana could have froze, done a poor job and made us question if she was right for the job. Instead, she absolutely killed it. She stood up to The Rock, took his insults and kept on firing back. We knew she was good before that, but once we saw that happen it was obvious that she was meant for this kind of role. Lana doesn't get physically involved in matches and she doesn't wrestle. That's okay because there are all kinds of women in WWE that have no business in a ring, yet they still have matches. Just keep her out there as a manager. She's great it.
