When Lana and Rusev first debuted on the WWE main roster they were a force to be reckoned with. However, WWE decided to split them up a few times, and at one point Lana was romantically involved with Dolph Ziggler and later Bobby Lashley on TV.
During a recent virtual signing with Highspots Wrestling Network CJ Perry, formerly Lana in WWE, discussed the storylines and she noted that she doesn’t feel that Vince McMahon was intentionally trying to mess with her and her husband Miro.
“I think people don’t like when they feel, I don’t know. Especially at WWE, I feel like — and especially with all our stories because we would always be thrown in that love interest, soap opera story which usually always does really well.
People love the Mandy [Rose] story and the Otis story because people love relationship stories but I think that a lot of times people thought that maybe Vince [McMahon] was messing with us and that’s why the fans didn’t like it but in reality, he wasn’t messing with us. He was just giving us more television time, you know?”
