Ranking the chances of the 5 women in the Fatal 5-way match at Battleground

#4 Lana

Could Battleground be the catalyst for Lana's push?

I have gone back and forth on this one. Personally, I am a big fan of Lana. But, I liked her more as Rusev's mouthpiece. She was a brilliant antagonist and was successful in helping her husband draw a tonne of much-needed heat from the fans each and every week. However, I am always impressed to see someone attempt to expand their horizons and try something new, especially when that person decides to step into the squared-circle.

Lana could be the future SmackDown Women's Champion, but she is going to have to really sharpen her ring work if she wants to be taken seriously and be the one that WWE officials look to as a top-tier star.
